Momentum is a term used to quantify the motion of an object has. It is calculated as the the product of the object's mass and the velocity. It is expressed as:

Momentum = m x v
Momentum = 50 kg x 5 m/s
Momentum = 250 kg m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is the last option.

1.15) What distance will 650 joules of work move a box weighing 50 newtons?

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 13 however make sure if they ask for a certain measurement like meter answer it by saying 13 meters.

Explanation:

This basically turns into basic algebra if you know the formula for work. The formula for work is W=F*d

Here are the variables that you know 650J=50N*d so you need d.

All you do is divide 650J by 50N and you get a total of 13 (meters since I don't know what they want you to put it in).

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>
