Answer: The correct answer is 75 kg m/s.

Explanation:

The expression of the momentum in terms of velocity and mass is as follows;

p=mv

Here, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity.

It is given in the problem that a person with a mass of 15 kg is walking on a flat surface at a velocity of 5 m/s.

Calculate the walker's momentum.

Put m= 15 kg and v= 5 m/s in the above expression.

p=(15)(5)

p= 75 kg m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the speedboat is 75 kg m/s.

A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 2
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the length of stretched spring  in cm is 22

Explanation:

given information:

spring length, x1 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

force, F = 100 N

the length of spring streches, x2 = 22 cm = 0.22 m

According to Hooke's law

F = - kΔx

k = F/*=(x2-x1)

  = 100/(0.22 - 0.20)

  = 5000 N/m

if the spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2-kg block is attached to the bottom end

m = 10.2 kg

W = m g

    = 10.2 x 9.8

    = 99.96 N

F = - k Δx

Δx = F / k

     = 99.96 / 5000

     = 0.02

Δx = x2- x1

x2 = Δx + x1

    = 0.20 + 0.02

    = 0.22 m

     = 22 cm

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.

Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²

Suppose that you connect the terminals of two batteries of different emfs positive to positive and negative to negative (opposin
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.

KatRina [158]
Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !
