Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer

1 answer:

5 0

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.

A car takes off from rest takes of from rest and covers a distance of 80m on a straight road in 10s.Calculate the magnitude of i

hodyreva [135]

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s [the car was at rest]
Distance (s) = 80 m
Time (t) = 10 s
Let the magnitude of acceleration be a.
By using the equation of motion, $s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$ we get, $80 = 0 \times 10 + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {10}^{2} \\ = > 80 = \frac{1}{2} \times 100a \\ = > 80 = 50a \\ = > a = \frac{80}{50} \\ = > a = 1.6$

Answer:

The magnitude of its acceleration is 1.6 m/s^2.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto

mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: 1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.
