<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>

Look at the simple machine shown below and determine the mechanical
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

10.0

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage = distance moves along the plane/distance moved along the vertical

distance moves along the vertical = 0.3m

distance moves along the plane = 3.0m

Mechanical Advantage = 3.0/0.3

Mechanical Advantage = 10

Hence the mechanical advantage is 10.0

Lindsey started biking to the park traveling 15 mph, after some time the bike got a flat so Lindsey walked the rest of the way,
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Lindsey biked 45 miles for 3 hours at 15 mph and walked 8 miles for 2 hours at 4 mph.

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Lindsey biked through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours

Then, the rest of the distance that she walked is (53 - x) miles

And the time she spent walking that distance = (5 - t) hours

Her biking speed = 15 mph = 15 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

15 = x/t

x = 15 t (eqn 1)

Her walking speed = 4 mph = 4 miles/hour

4 = (53 - x)/(5 - t)

53 - x = 4 (5 - t)

53 - x = 20 - 4t (eqn 2)

Substitute for X in (eqn 2)

53 - 15t = 20 - 4t

15t - 4t = 53 - 20

11t = 33

t = 3 hours

x = 15t = 15 × 3 = 45 miles.

(53 - x) = 53 - 45 = 8 miles

(5 - t) = 5 - 3 = 2 hours

So, it becomes evident that Lindsey biked 45 miles for 3 hours at 15 mph and walked 8 miles for 2 hours at 4 mph.
