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 magnetic field is a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any point is specified by two values, the direction and the magnitude; such that it is a vector field. Mathematically it is described as,

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}$

Here

$\mu_0$ = Permeability at free space constant

$I_{1,2}$ = Current at each object

d = Distance to the center point of the two object

Two magnetic field due to the current in the same directions then is,

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2\pi d_1}+\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2\pi d_2}$

Replacing,

$B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(8)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}+\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(12)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}$

$B = 8*10^{-4} +12*10^{-4}$

$B = 20*10^{-4}T$

Therefore the correct answer is E.

Is work being done on a barbell when a weight lifter is holding the barbell<br> over his head?

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Because in order for work to be done on an object, the object must be moving. Why isn't work being done on a barbell when a weight lifter is holding the barbell over his head? Work is maximized when force is applied in the same direction that the object is moving. ... In order to do work faster, more_is required.

Two uniform cylinders have different masses and different rotational inertias. They simultaneously start from rest at the top of

NARA [144]

Option (E) is correct

Neither (they arrive together)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Neither of the cylinders gets to the bottom first, they both will arrive together. Every object can gain speed with time if it is pushed, it is called the acceleration of that object. It the acceleration that decides which object reaches the bottom first.

Acceleration = I / mr^2.

In the case of both the cylinders, the acceleration will be the same, with the same acceleration they will reach the bottom at the same time.

What nuclide is formed when 90Sr undergoes

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Y-90

Explanation:

In a $\beta^{-}$ decay, the nucleus emits an electron and an electron antineutrino, thus causing the atomic number of the nucleus to increase by one while its mass number remains the same. Therefore, the new nucleus after the decay is

$^{90}_{39}Y$
