A fancart of mass 0.8 kg initially has a velocity of < 0.8, 0, 0 > m/s. Then the fan is turned on, and the air exerts a co

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the change of the momentum. At the same time we will use Newton's second law to obtain the acceleration of the object and the kinematic equations of linear motion.

Newton's second law is defined as,

F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}

Here,

F = Force

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

Our values are given as,

v_i = 0.8 m/s

v_f = ?

t = 1.5s

F = -0.3N

According to this values we have that the acceleration is,

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{-0.3}{0.8}

a = -0.375m/s^2

Now applying the concepts of kinematic equations we have that the final velocity is,

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0.8m/s + (-0.375m/s^2)(1.5s)

v_f = 0.3375m/s

By definition we know that momentum is the product between mass and velocity, so the change in momentum would be given by

\Delta p = p_f - p_i

\Delta p = mv_f-mv_i

\Delta p = m(v_f-v_i)

\Delta p = (0.8)(0.3375-0.9)

\Delta p = - 0.45kg \cdot m/s

Therefore the change in momentum of the fancart is -0.45kg m/s

1. Why did Asteroid 2019 OK cause concern among scientists? * The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Eart
AveGali [126]

Answer:

<u>The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Earth. </u>

Explanation:

According to data from NASA, the Asteroid named 'Astriod 2019 OK', was detected when it was extremely close to earth with just about an estimated distance of  73,000 kilometers  (45,000 miles) from the Earth.

Scientists were concerned at the proximity of this space object to the Earth before it was discovered, and it brought about a cause of concern that since it was not extremely large (estimated 57 to 130 meters wide) it creates a potential for other smaller asteroids to escape detection and struck the earth.

A student measured the mass of ice in a glass container with a tight lid. He allowed the ice to melt, and then found the mass of
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The liquid formed from a melted solid has the same mass as the solid has.

Explanation:

As long as no water can escape, the mass of the ice before melting must equal the mass of the liquid water after.

5. An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and
marishachu [46]

Answer:

D. 18.60

Explanation:

By the law of conservation, the momentum is neither loss nor gained but instead transfered. When they crash into each other, and stick, they combine to create a total mass of 215 kg. Since the momentum is transfered, the two objects, combined, have a total momentum of 4000 kg-m/s. We know that momentum equals mass times velocity. You then divide 4000 by 215 and get approximately 18.6 m/s

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

I = \frac{V}{R}

and

R = \frac{V}{I}

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation R = \frac{V}{I} , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a
Naily [24]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

We know that

a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt

V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.
