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 ball is launched at an angle of 10 degrees from a 20 meter tall building with a speed of 4 m/s. How long is the ball in the ai

shutvik [7]

Answer:

d) None of the above

Explanation:

$v_{o}$ = inituial velocity of launch = 4 m/s

θ = angle of launch = 10 deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = 4 Sin10 = 0.695

m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along the vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

y = vertical displacement = - 20 m

t = time of travel

using the equation

$y=v_{oy} t+(0.5)a_{y} t^{2}$

- 20 = (0.695) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 2.1 sec

consider the motion along the horizontal direction

x = horizontal displacement

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity along horizontal direction = 4 Cos10 = 3.94 m/s

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 2.1 s

Using the kinematics equation

$x =v_{ox} t+(0.5)a_{x} t^{2}$

x = (3.94) (2.1) + (0.5) (0) (2.1)²

x = 8.3 m

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = 4 Sin10 = 0.695

m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along the vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

$y_{o}$ =initial vertical position at the time of launch = 20 m

$y$ = vertical position at the maximum height = 20 m

$v_{fy}$ = final velocity along vertical direction at highest point = 0 m/s

using the equation

${v_{fy}}^{2}= {v_{oy}}^{2} + 2 a_{y}(y - y_{o})$

$0^{2}= 0.695^{2} + 2 (- 9.8)(y - 20)$

$y$ = 20.02 m

h = height above the starting height

h = $y$ - $y_{o}$

h = 20.02 - 20

h = 0.02 m

The position of a particle is given by ~r(t) = (3.0 t2 ˆi + 5.0 ˆj j 6.0 t kˆ) m

Julli [10]

Answer:

$v=(6ti+6k)\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The position of a particle is given by :

$r(t) = (3.0 t^2 i + 5.0j+ 6.0 tk) m$

Let us assume we need to find its velocity.

We know that,

$v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3.0 t^2 i + 5.0j+ 6.0 tk) \\\\=(6ti+6k)\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the particle is $(6ti+6k)\ m/s$ .

A family has a furnace that uses natural gas to heat their home. They are moving to an area that offers the option of using ener

Murrr4er [49]

The disadvantage will the family most likely face by making this switch is that solar power has a less reliable production of heat.Option A is correct.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Nuclear power bare a form of the thermal power plant. You have a reactor where fission takes place and heat is generated, a heat exchanger that transports this heat to where it is needed.

Thermal power plant equipment converts this heat into electric energy, usually via a steam turbine.

The household will most likely experience a disadvantage from this decision in that solar power produces heat less consistently.

Hence option A is correct,

Help pleasee

agasfer [191]

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o = (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f) image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3 magnification (convex lens)
