Answer:

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

$Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)$

$p = mv$

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

$Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Hence, the momentum of the man is $20kgm/s$

KIM [24]

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be √4 = 2 .

The drag force on a falling coffee filter can be modeled as a linear function with respect to velocity, F⃗ D =−bv, where b is a

nordsb [41]

Newton's second law and graphical analysis allow us to find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass and the acceleration of the bodies.

∑ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration of the body.

They indicate that the drag force on the filters is

F = - b v

Where b is a positive constant that depends on the shape and area of the filter and v is the speed of the filter.

Let's write Newton's second law.

W - fr = ma

W -bv = ma

In the experiment the students indicate that they can measure the position, velocity and acceleration of the body.

Based on the above, if we place several filter weights and measure their speed and acceleration in each case, we can make a graph of velocity versus acceleration, we can take the value of the constant b from the slope.

Let's analyze the different answers:

A) False. The constant b depends on the shape of the filter therefore it must be kept constant.

B) False. The constant depends on the area, so it must be kept constant.

C) May be. In this case, since we have the terminal velocity, the acceleration is zero, Newton's second law remains.

B v - W = 0

b = $\frac{W}{v}$
