She can pedal harder to increase the speed of the bicycle. She can apply the brakes to decrease the speed of the bicycle. And she can turn the handle bars to change the bicycle's Direction.

1. Applying more force and energy, speeding up
2. Releasing potential and kinetic energy by going down a slope, speeding up
3. Applying less force to slow down and let friction overcome the bicyclist

1 A truck increases its speed from 15 m/s to 60 m/s in 15 s. Its acceleration is

MAVERICK [17]

Acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/t
Since Vf= 60m/s
Vi= 15m/s
T= 15s
=> a= (60m/s - 15m/s)/15s
= 3
So the acceleration is 3m/s^2

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed

Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

$h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)$

$λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)$

$p \: photons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {} ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m }$

$= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s$

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

$pball = pphotons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg$

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s$

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangent

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Explanation:

Since Juan is closer to the center and Kuri is away from the center so we can say that Juan will move smaller distance in one complete revolution

As we know that the distance moved in one revolution is given as

$d = 2\pi r$

also the time period of revolution for both will remain same as they move with the time period of carousel

Now we can say that the speed is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}$

so Juan will have less tangential speed. so correct answer will be

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

The kinetic energy of a body of mass 15 kg is 30 joule. What is its momentum?

lys-0071 [83]

This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum. So here they are:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

So, now ... We know that

==> mass = 15 kg, and

==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules

Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)

60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)

4 m²/s² = speed²

Speed = 2 m/s

THAT's all you need ! Now you can find momentum:

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)

Momentum = 30 kg·m/s

(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum. When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true. So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)
