What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

$p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s$

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

What is the energy in joules of a photon with a frequency of 3.16e 12 s-1?

erica [24]

We have: Energy(E) = Planck's constant(h) × Frequency(∨)
Here, Planck's constant(h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J/s
Frequency (∨) = 3.16 × 10¹² /s

Substitute the values into the expression:
E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3.16 × 10¹²) J
E = 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ Joules

In short, Your Final answer would be 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ J

Hope this helps!

A 10 kg migratory swan cruises at 20m/s. A calculation that takes into ac-count the necessary forces shows that this motion requ

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%$

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules$

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

$\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2$

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977$

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%$

Which process is an example of a physical change?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.
