Answer:

Momentum of the skier is 350 Kg.m/sec

Explanation:

Momentum of a body can be calculated using the following rule:

P = m * v

where:

P is the momentum of the body

m is the mass of the body given as 70 Kg

v is the velocity of the body given as 5 m/sec

Substitute with the givens in the above rule to get the momentum of the skier as follows:

P = m * v

P = 70 * 5

P = 350 Kg.m/sec

Hope this helps :)

in an experiment which the volume of dry sand is measured by the displacement of water, the sand was slightly wet to begin with.

Mamont248 [21]

It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.

In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.

So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate less air space.

Why does a child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward? 15. What force is needed to acc

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Force, F = 77 N

Explanation:

A child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward. It is due to Newton's third law of motion. The forward pull on wagon is called action force and the backward force is called reaction force. These two forces are equal in magnitude but they acts in opposite direction.

We need to calculate the force is needed to accelerate a sled. It can be calculated using the formula as :

F = m × a

Where

m = mass = 55 kg

a = acceleration = 1.4 m/s²

$F=55\ kg\times 1.4\ m/s^2$

F = 77 N

So, the force needed to accelerate a sled is 77 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider a spherical volume of space that is large enough to be considered homogeneous. Also consider a particle on the surface

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option A applies.

A. Greater than its escape speed from the mass within the volume

Explanation:

Here it is mentioned that the spherical volume is large enough for the space to be considered as homogeneous. Also, the pressure within the volume is negligible, so that will not result into the re collapse of the Universe. Now as per our knowing, Hubble's Law relates the average speed of the particle to the distance R between the Earth and the particle. So, if the particle's speed is greater than it's escape speed from the mass within the volume, then the Universe is bound to re collapse back again. Option A applies.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traﬃc moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traﬃc ligh

bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ .

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s, $\frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s$ ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

$t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s$

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traﬃc moving continuously is 6.88 s
