If the truck moves at same speed but twice as much mass, its momentum is increased twice.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the force experienced by any object for a given time. In other words, it is the measure of the mass and velocity required for a certain motion. So it is determined as the product of mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum = Mass × Velocity.

As momentum is directly proportional to both mass and velocity, increase in any one of these two quantities keeping the other constant will lead to increase in the momentum.

So in the present case, it is stated as speed is kept constant and the mass is increased twice, then the momentum will also increase twice.

New momentum = 2 ×mass × velocity = 2 × old momentum

If the truck moves at same speed but twice as much mass, its momentum is increased twice.

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 25.0 m/s from a height of 2.0 m.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

a) t = 2.55 s

b) t = 5.5 s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 25 m/s

h = 2 m

g = 9.81 m/s

Formula

t = -(vo)/g

a)

        t = -(25)/9.81

        t = 2.55 s

b)

        Tt = 2t

         Tt = 2(2.55)

         Tt = 5.1 s

Time in the last 10 m

         10 = 25t + (1/2)(9.81)t²

Simplify

          10 = 25t 4.91t²

          4.9t² + 25t - 10 = 0

Solve the equation using an online calculator

    t₁ = 0.37 s               t₂ = -5.47 s

The correct answer is t₁, t₂ is incorrect because there are no negative answers.

Total time = 5.1 + 0.37

                 = 5.5 s

The diagram below shows a golf ball being struck by a club. The ball leaves the club with a speed of 40 meters per second at an
hjlf

Answer:

61.22m

Explanation:

Maximum height in projectile is expressed as;

H = u²sin²θ/2g

u is the speed

g is the acceleration due to gravity

θ is the angle of projection

Substitute the given values into the formula;

H = u²sin²θ/2g

H = 40²sin²60/2g

H = 1600(0.8660)²/2(9.8)

H = 1600(0.8660)²/2(9.8)

H = 1,199.9/19.6

H = 61.22m

Hence the maximum height achieved by the ball is 61.22m

Air resistance is an example of what type of friction?
Sav [38]
Well, Air resistance is a special type of friction (you cannot classify it in other categories). That force of air-resistance is often observed to oppose the motion of the object,( like every other frictional forces)

Hope this helps!

Kevin is refinishing his rusty wheelbarrow. He moves his sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time moving a
dmitriy555 [2]
W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules
