Answer:

2.9tons

Explanation:

Note that On an incline of angle a from horizontal, the parallel and perpendicular components of a downward force F are:

parallel ("tangential"): F_t = F sin a

perpendicular ("normal"): F_n = F cos a

At a=3.7 degrees, sin a is about 0.064 and with F = 46tons:

F sin a ~~ (46 tons)*0.064 ~~ 2.9tons

A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.
vekshin1

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.

A nuclear explosion may release tremendous amounts of energy in the form of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and an atmosph
posledela

light and radiation is able to experience by an observer watching the explosion from the vacuum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Basically in the nuclear explosion, there will be an enormous of energy released as noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric wave.
  • Usually sound and wave propagate through medium but in vacuum, there will be no medium to transfer this type of energy. so there is no chance of sound and wave transfer.  
  • Light and radiation travel in vacuum because they didn't need the medium to transfer .
