Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,

Hello!

a) What is the change in momentum?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

$\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }$

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

$a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}$

$a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}$

$a = -10\ m/s^{2}$

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of -10 m/s^2.

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

$\boxed{F=ma}$

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of -80000 Newtons.

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

In both the camera and the __________, light enters a narrow opening and is projected onto a photosensitive surface. Group of an

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: The HUMAN EYE

Explanation:

The human eye is made up of different parts which ranges from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to the focusing of the image that is formed. The camera is a device which is both mechanically and electronically operated which shares a number of similarities with the eye.

In the human eye, the IRIS helps to regulate the amount of rays passing through the pupil to the lens by either contracting or dilating in light or dark environment respectively. While in the camera, the DIAPHRAGM controls the amount of light entering the camera.

The PUPIL serves as the passage for light into the eye while in the camera, the APERTURE does the same.

The photosensitive surface in the eye is the YELLOW SPOT while in the camera, the photosensitive surface is the PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

a) The speed is 61.42 m/s

b) The drag force is 10.32 N

Explanation:

a) The Reynold´s number for the model and prototype is:

$Re_{m} =\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m} }{u_{m} }$

$Re_{p} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} }{u_{p} }$

Equaling both Reynold's number:

$\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} }{u_{p} }=\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m} }{u_{m} }$

Clearing Vm:

$V_{m} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} u_{m} }{u_{p} p_{m} L_{m} }=\frac{999.1*0.56*8*1.849x10^{-5} }{1.138x10^{-3}*1.184*1 } =61.42m/s$

b) The drag force is:

$\frac{F_{Dm} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2} } =\frac{F_{Dp} }{p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} } \\F_{Dp} =\frac{F_{Dp}p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2} } \\F_{Dp}=\frac{2.3*999.1*0.56^{2} *8^{2} }{1.184*61.42^{2}*1^{2} } =10.32N$
