a person whose mass is 72 kg has a momentum of 700 kg/m/s (E) .What velocity must this person be travelling at?(2 sig figs)

1 answer:

7 0

From the information given, the mass of the moving body, which in this case is a person, is 72 kg and the momentum 700 kg m/s. we use the formula p = m × v. Where p is momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need v so we rewrite the equation thus: v = p/m In our case p = 700 and m = 72 v = p/m → v = 700/ 72 → v = 9.72 Therefore the person is travelling at 9.72 m/s

Permafrost thaws only briefly in the summer. t o f brainliest

Verizon [17]

The answer is False. Permafrost does not thaws briefly in the summer since Permafrost is all year round. As global temperature rise, the amount that frozen soil that melts is increasing. With warmer temperature, snow and ice that used to reflect sunlight is disappearing. Thus, the newly exposed soil absorbs heat from the sunlight, and encourages melting.

List and define 4-5 waste materials from copper ore processing

frozen [14]

<span>Four waste materials from copper ore processing are: ore minerals, unwanted rock or gangue, uranium, and pyrite/sulfide minerals. Ore minerals are contained in rock and have potential to be economically extracted, gangue may contain silicate minerals for which there is no economic value, uranium is a frequently-occurring radionuclide found in ore bodies, and pyrite and sulfide minerals may be found in tailings piles during copper processing.</span>

A car is moving with speed 20 m/s and acceleration 2 m/s2 at a given instant. Using a second-degree Taylor polynomial, estimate

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

$T(1)=21$

Explanation:

The equation of the position in kinematics is given:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}$

x(0) is the initial position, in this it is 0
v(0) is the initial velocity (20 m/s)
a is the acceleration (2 m/s²)

So the equation will be:

$x(t)=20t+0.5*2*t^{2}$

$x(t)=20t+t^{2}$

Now, the Taylor polynomial equation is:

$f(a)+\frac{f'(a)}{1!}(x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^{2}+...$

Using our position equation we can find f'(t)=v(t) and f''(x)=a(t). In our case a=0, so let's find each derivative.

$f(t)=x(t)=20t+t^{2}$

$f'(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}=v(t)=20+2t$

$f''(t)=\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=a(t)=2$

Using the Taylor polynomial with a = 0 and take just the second order of the derivative.

$f(0)+\frac{f'(0)}{1!}(x)+\frac{f''(0)}{2!}(x)^{2}$

$f(0)=x(0)=0$

$f'(0)=v(0)=20$

$f''(0)=a(0)=2$

$T(t)=f(0)+\frac{f'(0)}{1!}(t)+\frac{f''(0)}{2!}(t)^{2}$

$T(t)=\frac{20}{1!}(t)+\frac{2}{2!}(t)^{2}$

$T(t)=20t+t^{2}$

Let's put t=1 so find the how far the car moves in the next second:

$T(1)=20*1+1^{2}$

$T(1)=21$

Therefore, the position in the next second is 21 m.

We need to know if the acceleration remains at this value to use this polynomial in the next minute, so I suggest that it would be reasonable to use this method just under this condition.

I hope it helps you!
