Make sure the triple beam balance is at 0 before you begin.
Answer:
v_f = 0.87 m/s
Explanation:
We are given;
F_avg = -17700 N (negative because it's backward)
m = 117 kg
Δt = 5.50 × 10^(−2) s
v_i = 7.45 m/s
Now, formula for impulse is given by;
I = F•Δt = - 17700 x 5.50 × 10^(−2) = - 973.5 kg.m/s
From impulse momentum theory, we know that;
Change in momentum of particle is equal to impulse.
Thus,
Δp = I = m•v_f - m•v_i
Thus,
-973.5= 117(v_f - 7.45)
Thus,
-973.5/117 = (v_f - 7.45)
-8.3205 + 7.45 = v_f
v_f = - 0.87 m/s
We'll take absolute value as;
v_f = 0.87 m/s
Explanation:
(2.40 × 10⁷) × (3.10 × 10⁻⁵)
(2.40 × 3.10) × (10⁷ × 10⁻⁵)
7.44 × 10²
Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass. The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.
(NOTE: Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs. Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction. Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)
