a. The most momentum is attained by James.

b. The resultant force acting on her is 90.77N.

c. Time taken for him to stop is 3.24 s

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum of any object is the product of the velocity of the object and its mass.

P =mv

James has a mass of 98 kg and Basma has a mass of 59 kg. James is running at 3.0 m/s, while Basma is running at 4.0 m/s.

Substitute the values, we get

P jane= 98 kg x 3

P jane= 294 kg.m/s

Momentum of Basma, is

P Basma = 59 kg x 4

P Basma = 236 kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum is large for James.

b. Basma approaches a road, so she stops quickly. It takes her 2.6 seconds to stop. The resultant force acting on her

F. t = P Basma

F =[ 236/2.6

F = 90.77 N

Thus, the resultant force on Basma is 90.77 N.

c. James also stops for the road. If he were to have the same resultant force acting on him, Time taken for him to stop is

F = 90.77 = P james/t

t = 294 / 90.77

t = 3.24 s

Thus, time taken for James to stop for the same resultant force is 3.24 s

The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following

vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

Potential energy P.E = mgh

Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

We make a graphic of this problem to define the angle.

The angle we can calculate through triangle relation, that is,

$sin\theta = \frac{c}{QP}\\sin\theta = \frac{c}{R}\\\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{c}{R}$

With this function we should only calculate the derivate in function of c

$\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{R^2}}}(\frac{c}{R})'\\\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-c^2}}$

That is the rate of change of $\theta$ .

b) At this point we need only make a substitution of 0 for c in the equation previously found.

$\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-0}}\\\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{R}$

Hence we have finally the rate of change when c=0.
