Answer:

The correct order of momentum from least to greatest is given as

School building < Butter fly < Book falling from table < Car travelling on highway

Explanation:

As we know that the momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity

Here we have to compare the momentum of objects by the mass and velocity both

A car travelling down the highway

A book falling from a table

A butterfly flying through the air

The school building

out of above all car is heavy as well as moving with high speed on highway so it will have maximum momentum, then school building is heavy in mass but its speed is zero so its momentum is minimum and least

Then out of butter fly and the book the book is much heavy than butter fly so momentum of book is more than butter fly

So here correct order is

School building < Butter fly < Book falling from table < Car travelling on highway

A drag racing car with a weight of 1600 lbf attains a speed of 270 mph in a quarter-mile race. Immediately after passing the tim

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

$F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

$C_d$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

$F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}$

Equating both equations we have:

$m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

$m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

Integrating

$\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t$

Here,

$V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s$

$V_i = 120.7m/s$

$m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg$

$\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3$

$C_d = 0.3$

$\Delta t=7s$

Replacing:

$\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)$

$-0.029 = -5.4997r^2$

$r = 2.2963m$

$d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft$

The apparent height of a building 10.5 km away is 0.02 radians. What is the approximate height of the building to the nearest me

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Approximate height of the building is 23213 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the building be represented by h.

0.02 radians = 0.02 × $\frac{180^{o} }{\pi }$

= 0.02 x (180/ $\frac{22}{7}$ )

0.02 radians = 1.146°

10.5 km = 10500 m

Applying the trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

So that,

Tan 1.146° = $\frac{h}{10500}$

⇒ h = Tan 1.146° x 10500

= 2.21074 x 10500

= 23212.77

h = 23213 m

The approximate height of the building is 23213 m.
