Answer:

The weight if the block is 10Newtons

Explanation:

The weight of any object is quantity of matter the object contains and it is always acting downwards on such body. This shows that the object is under the influence of gravity.

The weight of an object is calculated as mass of the object × its acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

Give the mass of the brick to be 1kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Weight of the object = 1 × 10

= 10kgm/s² or 10Newtons

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

$P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i$

here we know that

$P_1 = P_2$

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}$

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv$

now from above equation we have

$P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)$

$mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)$

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

What is a conservative force?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken Equivalently if a particle travels in a closed loop the total work done by a conservative force is zero

If an object undergoes a change in momentum of 10 kg m/s in 3 s ,then the force acting on it is

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Force = 3.333 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Change in momentum = 10 Kgm/s

Time = 3 seconds

To find the force acting on it;

In Physics, the change in momentum of a physical object is equal to the impulse experienced by the physical object.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force * time = mass * change in velocity

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = force * 3

Force = 10/3

Force = 3.333 Newton

If an object is propelled upward from a height of 128 feet at an initial velocity of 112 feet per second, then its height h aft

Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

The equation of motion of an object is given by :

$h(t)=-16t^2+112t+128$

Where

t is the time in seconds

We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

So,

$-16t^2+112t+128=0$

$-t^2+7t+8=0$

On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
