Impulse = (force) x (length of time the force lasts)

I see where you doodled  (60)(40)  over on the side, and you'll be delighted
to know that you're on the right track !

Here's the mind-blower, which I'll bet you never thought of:
On a force-time graph, impulse (also change in momentum)
is just  the <em>area that's added under the graph during some time</em> !

From zero to 60, the impulse is just the area of that right triangle
under the graph.  The base of the triangle is  60 seconds.  The
height of the triangle is  40N .  The area of the triangle is not
the whole (base x height), but only <em><u>1/2 </u></em>(base x height).

  1/2 (base x height) = 1/2 (60s x 40N) = <u>1,200 newton-seconds</u>

<u>That's</u> the impulse during the first 60 seconds.  It's also the change in
the car's momentum during the first 60 seconds. 

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

If the car wasn't moving at all when the graph began, then its momentum is  1,200 newton-sec after 60 seconds.  Through the convenience of the SI system of units, 1,200 newton-sec is exactly the same thing as 1,200 kg-m/s .  The car's mass is 3 kg, so after 60 sec, you can write

    Momentum = M x V = (3 kg) x (speed) = 1,200 kg-m/s

and the car's speed falls right out of that. 

From 60to 120 sec, the change in momentum is the added area of that
extra right triangle on top ... it's 60sec wide and only 20N high.  Calculate
its area, that's the additional impulse in the 2nd minute,  which is also the
increase in momentum, and that'll give you the change in speed.

Atoms in a solid are in continuous vibrational motion due to thermal energy. At room temperature, the amplitude of these atomic
Bingel [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Amplitude of atomic vibrations (λ) = 10⁻⁹ cm = 10⁻⁹ × 10⁻² m = 10⁻¹¹ m [1 cm = 10⁻² m]

Frequency of the vibrations (f) = 10¹² Hz

In order to find the atom's maximum speed, we need to make use of the formula that relates speed, frequency and wavelength of the vibration.

Therefore, the formula for maximum speed is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, plug in the values given and solve for speed 'v'. This gives,

v=(10^{12}\ Hz)(10^{-11}\ m)\\\\v=10^{12-11}\ m/s\\v=10\ m/s

Therefore, the atom's maximum speed due to thermal energy provided is 10 m/s.

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

Calculate the heat gained by 100 grams of ice at -20°C in order to become water at 50°C. ( C = .5 for ice and C = 1 for water, Q
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

6008 cal

Explanation:

m_{i} = mass of ice = 100 g = 0.1 kg

c_{i}  = specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal/(kg°C)

c_{w}  = specific heat of water = 1 cal/(kg°C)

L  = Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 J/g

T_{i}  = initial temperature of ice = - 20 °C

T_{f}  = final temperature of ice = 50 °C

Q = Heat gained

Heat gained is given as

Q = m_{i} c_{i}(0 - (T_{i}))+ m_{i}L + m_{i}c_{w}(T_{i} - 0)

Q = (100) (0.5) (0 - (- 20))+ (0.1)(80) + (100) (1)(50 - 0)

Q = 6008 cal
