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.

What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000  x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one sid
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Net pull = 110 N to the left

Explanation:

Group the different pulls according to the direction (right or left)

2 pull 196 N each to the right

4 pull 98 N each to the left

5 pull 62 N each to the left

3 pull 150 N each to the right

1 pull 250 N to the left

Since positive direction is to the right, the pulls to the left will have a minus (-)

Net Force= 2(196)+4(-98)+5(-62)+3(150)+1(-250) \\Net Force = -110

The resulting force is negative, meaning the direction is to the left

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.
Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }

\frac{1}{100,000}  = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

v = 0.999999995 c

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

Formular for coefficient of friction<br>​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

hope you like it mark as brainliest

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact.

The coefficient of friction (fr) is a number that is the ratio of the resistive force of friction (Fr) divided by the normal or perpendicular force (N) pushing the objects together. It is represented by the equation: fr = Fr/N.
