1. The change in momentum follows the formula:

Change in Momentum = mΔv,
where m is the mass and v is the velocity

Change in momentum = (700 kg)(15 m/s - 30 m/s) =<em> -10,500 kg·m/s</em>

2. For this problem, the formula for impulse, J, is

J = FΔt

Before answering part a, we answer for part b first.

Part B. 
F = ma
where
a = Δv/t = (15 - 30)/5 = -1 m/s²
So,
F = (700 kg)(-1 m/s²) = <em>-700 N</em>

Part A.
J = (-700 N)(5 s) =<em> -3,500 N·s</em>

Which graph accurately shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed as speed increases?
mixer [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.

For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.

Thus,

KE =  \frac{1}{2} x 2 x 3^{2}

     = 9

KE = 9.0 Joules

Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:

KE =  \frac{1}{2} x 2 x 4^{2}

     = 16

KE = 16.0 Joules

Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.

Will an electromagnet be obtained if steel is placed inside the solenoid?​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a 3D circular pattern. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the coil.

When a ferromagnetic material rod is permanently placed inside the solenoid, the metal greatly increases the magnetic effect and becomes a permanent electromagnet. Moreover, it can also be used as an electrical switch by drawing in or pushing out a ferromagnetic material like an iron rod. Depending on the directions of the rod and the electrical current the switching action takes place.

Given figure  represents the solenoid as electromagnet and the switching action.
