Momentum of the object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the velocity of the moving object. In this case, the starting situation should be the object should be moving, else there is no velocity and thus momentum is equal to zero .Answer is C

A truck starts off 151 miles directly north from the city of Hartville. It travels due east at a speed of 41 miles per hour. Aft

Bess [88]

Answer:

9.51

Explanation:

The distance s is given by:

$s(t) = \sqrt{151^2 + (vt)^2}$

The change in distance is given by the time derivative of s:

$\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{v^2t}{\sqrt{151^2 + (vt)^2}}$

For the time t you solve the equation of distance x for time:

$x = vt => t = \frac{x}{v}$

Plugging in for t:

$\frac{ds}{dt}(t=\frac{x}{v})=\frac{vx }{\sqrt{151^2 + x^2}}=9.51$

The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5 kg is _N.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

4.9N

Explanation:

The formula for weight is F = ma.

You plug in the mass of 0.5kg and an acceleration of 9.8 to get

F = (0.5)(9.8)

F = 4.9N

An 80-kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15 m/s . Suppose that

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

0.0241875 m

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of quarterback = 80 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of football = 0.43 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of quarterback

$v_2$ = Velocity of football = 15 m/s

Time taken = 0.3 seconds

In this system as the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{0.43\times 15}{80}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.080625\ m/s$

Assuming this velocity is constant

$Distance=Velocity\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.080625\times 0.3\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.0241875\ m$

The distance the quarterback will move in the horizontal direction is 0.0241875 m

A 34.1-mL sample of benzene at 20.8°C was cooled to its melting point, 5.5 °C, and then frozen at 5.5 °C. Calculate the quantity

posledela

Answer:

4541.8 J

Explanation:

First we find the mass of benzene available

mass = density x volume

= 0.867 x 34.1

= 29.5647 g

Then we find the amount of heat transferred by two processes:

heat tranferred = heat lost during temp drop + heat lost during freezing

= mcΔT + mL

= 29.5647 x 1.74 x (20.8 - 5.5) + 29.5647 x 127

= 4541.7883434 J

= 4541.8 J

Many asteroids are found between mars and which other celestial body?.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.
