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

nstant force of < −0.3, 0, 0 > N on the cart for 1.5 seconds. What is the change in momentum of the fancart over this 1.5 second interval?

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

Three cars with identical engines and tires start from rest, and accelerate at their maximum rate. Car X is the most massive, an
aksik [14]

Answer:C) car X

Explanation:

Given

All the cars have identical Engine thus Force Produced by car X will be equal to  Y and Z

and Force=mass\times acceleration

Since Car X is most massive so acceleration associated with it will be minimum

acceleration of car X is minimum thus it will travel farthest

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 1.5m and a frequency of 500 Hz
Schach [20]
Wave speed  =  (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       = (1.5 m) x (500 / sec)

                       =       750 m/s .
