Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Force = Mass x acceleration

Unit of force = Unit of mass x Unit of acceleration = kg x m/s²

kg m/s² is also called as Newton (N)

Option A is the correct answer.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

Good Morning, how are you?

Your answer is C. The moon orbits and rotates the same, so we NEVER see the far side of the moon from earth :)

Have a great day :)

When a 70 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? Assume, for simplicity, that the stool

allochka39001 [22]

The diameter of one leg of the stool is missing and it's 2cm.

Answer:

(ΔL/L) = 0.00729%

Explanation:

If the Weight of the man is W, the weight will be distributed equally on the 3 legs and so the reactions for each leg will be W/3 or F/3.

Now, Youngs modulus(Y) of douglas fir wood is about 1.3 x 10^(10) N/m^2. Gotten from youngs modulus of common materials.

Now, weight of man is 70kg.

Now diameter of one leg is 2cm.so radius of one leg = 2/2 = 1cm = 1 x 10^(-2)m

Area for one leg is; π( 1 x 10^(-2)m)^2 = 3.14 x 10^(-4)m

Now as stated earlier, the force on one leg is; F/3.

Now F = mg = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7N

So, force on one leg = 686.7/3 = 228. 9N

Now we know youngs modulus(Y) = Stress/Strain.

Stress = F/A while Strain = ΔL/L

Therefore Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

And therefore, (ΔL/L) = F/(AY)

So (ΔL/L) = 228.9/(3.14 x 10^(-4))x(1.3 x 10^(10)) = 7. 29 x 10^(-5)

When expressed in percentage, it becomes 0.00729%

omeli [17]

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero
