Given:

The mass of the halfback is m = 107 kg

The speed of the halfback is v = 8 m/s

To find the momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of the halfback is

$\begin{gathered} p=\text{ mv} \\ =\text{ 107}\times8 \\ =\text{ 856 kg m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the momentum of the halfback is 856 kg m/s

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y directio

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave

is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .

Given Electric field = E i because it is along x axis

Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis

E x B = Ei x Bj

= EB k .

so direction of E x B is along k direction or z - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .

A small, 3 kg weight is moved from 5 m from the ground to 8 m. What is the change in potential energy?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 88.2 J

Explanation: PE, OR Potential Energy, equals to mass gravity and height.

mass - 3kg

height - 3 because (8-5)

gravity is 9.8kg

so 3 times 3 times 9.8 = 88.2J

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance $d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m$

Speed of the comet $V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s$

At distance $d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m$

where;

mass of the sun = $1.98 \times 10^{30}$

$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}$

To find the speed $V_f$ :

Using the formula:

$E_f = E_i + W \\ \\ where; \ \ W = 0 \ \ \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}$

$E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\ K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 + \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [ \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}$
