force of 1.0 x 106N for a period of 20.0 seconds.

Answer:

(a) Impulse of the engine = 20*10^6 N.s

(b) New momentum of the ferry = 1985700 kgm/s

(c) The new velocity of the ferry = 1527.5 m/s

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have:

mass (m) = 13000 kg; velocity (v) = 11 m/s; Force (F) = 1.0*10^6 N; period (t) = 20 s.

From the Newton's law of motion, it is know that:

force*time = mass*velocity; and impulse = force*time

Thus:

(a) the magnitude of the impulse from the engine is:

Impulse = 1.0*10^6 * 20 = 20*10^6 N.s

(b) The new momentum of the ferry is equivalent to the difference between the engine momentum and the ferry momentum. Therefore, we have:

New momentum = Engine momentum - Ferry momentum

Ferry momentum = mass*velocity = 13000*11 =143000 kgm/s

Engine momentum = 1.0*10^6 * 20 = 20*10^6 N.s = 20*10^6 (kgm/s^2 *s) = 20*10^6 kgm/s

Therefore:

New momentum = 20*10^6 - 143000 = 1985700 kgm/s

(c) The new velocity of the ferry is:

v = new momentum/mass = 1985700/13000 = 1527.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

$J=F.\Delta t$

$J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s$

$J=2\times 10^7\ N-s$

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

$J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i$

$J=p_f-p_i$

$p_f=J+p_i$

$p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s$

$p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s$

(c) For new velocity,

$v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}$

$v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}$

$v_f=1549.46\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Select the true statements: check all that apply check all that apply oxidizing agents can convert co into co2. a reducing agent

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

1.) True

2.) True

3.) False

Explanation:

1.) Oxidizing agents can convert co into co2.

This is true

Carbon monoxide burns in the oxygen to produce carbon dioxide

2.) A reducing agent gets oxidized as it reacts.

This is true

Because it loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction.

3.) If something is reduced, it is formally losing electrons.

This is false.

If something is reduced, it is gaining electrons.

A particle moving along the y-axis has the potential energy u =4y3j, where y is in m. what is the y-component of the force on th

Ivenika [448]

Potential energy is given as

$U = 4y^3$

now as we know that force is related by potential energy by the formula

$F = - \frac{dU}{dy}$

So it is gradient of energy with position in Y

$F = - \fracd(4y^3}{dy}$

$F = -12y^2 \hat j$

Now at y = 0

$F = 0 N$

at y = 1

$F = - 12*1^2$

$F = - 12 N$

at y = 2

$F = - 12*2^2$

$F = - 48 N$

so above is the forces at given positions

A wildebeest and chicken participate in a race over a 2.00km long course. the wildebeest travels at a speed of 16.0m/s and chick

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

(a) The distance of the chicken from the finish line is 62.5 m

(b) The stationary time of the wildebeest is 675 s

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by wildebeest and chicken, d = 2 km = 2000 m

speed of the wildebeest, $v_w$ = 16 m/s

speed of the chicken, $v_c$ = 2.5 m/s

Time for wildebeest to finish the race without stopping, 2000 / 16 = 125 s

Time for chicken to finish the race without stopping, 2000/2.5 = 800 s

(b) for how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?

t(stationary) = t(chicken) - t(wildebeest)

t = 800s - 125 s

t = 675 s

(a) how far (in m) is the chicken from the Finish Line when the wildebeest resume the race?

The time taken for the wildebeest to run 1.6 km (1600 m) is given by;

t = 1600 / 16 = 100 s

The total time spent by the wildebeest before it resumed the race = stationary time + 100s

t (total) = 675 s + 100 s = 775 s

Distnace traveled by the chicken when the wildebeest resumed the race = 2.5m/s x 775s = 1937.5 m

Thus, the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 2000 m - 1937.5 m

the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 62.5 m

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is $P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the water contained is $h_w = 30 \ cm = 0.3 \ m$

The height of liquid in the cylinder is $h_t = 40 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_w + P_o$

Where $P_w$ is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

$P_w = \rho_w * g * h_w$

Now $\rho_w$ is the density of water with a constant values of $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

substituting values

$P_w = 1000 * 9.8 * 0.3$

$P_w = 2940 \ Pa$

While $P_o$ is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

$P_o = \rho_o * g * (h_t -h_w )$

Where $\rho _o$ is the density of oil with a constant value

$\rho _o = 900 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$P_o = 900 * 9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)$

$P_o = 882 \ Pa$

Therefore

$P_g = 2940 - 882$

$P_g = 2058 \ P_a$
