750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate

a chain reaction. If there is currently 50kg of U-235 present in Oklo, how much must have been present 750 million years ago when the reaction took place?

inna [3103]

Let us denote a_1=3 m/s^2 as the highest acceleration of the truck by itself. The force generated by the engine to propel the truck in this scenario is
F= ma_1
where m is the mass of the truck alone.

Upon attaching a bus that has double the mass of the truck, the total mass of the entire system (truck+bus) becomes (m+2m)=3m. In this situation, the force generated by the engine is
F=3m a_2
where a2 represents the new acceleration. 
Since the engine remains unchanged, the force generated stays the same, allowing us to set the force equations equal to each other:
m a_1 = 3 m a_2
and solving for a2 gives us:
a_2 = \frac{m a_1}{3 m}= \frac{a_1}{3}= \frac{3 m/s^2}{3}=1 m/s^2

A 55 kg gymnast wedges himself between two closely spaced vertical walls by pressing his hands and feet against the walls. Part
ValentinkaMS [3465]

answer:

Let frictional forces due to both hands and feets be "Ff" each(since its given that they all are equal), acting in upward direction( in opposite direction of supposed motion).\\
Then since there is no motion of gymnast thus net frictional force due to both hands and feets will be exactly balanced by the weight of the gymnast,\\ i.e\\
4f_{f}=weight =mg\\
f_{f}=\frac{55x9.8}{4}\\
=134.75N
