Answer:

D. 196 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem:

- m=20 kg is the mass of the object

- g = 9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface

Substituting these data into the formula, we get

F=(20 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=196.2 N \sim 196 N

"5 N, up" is an example of a ___.<br> OA) force<br> OB) mass<br> OC) weight<br> OD) magnitude
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo
Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

An 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s collides (perfectly inelastic) with a 50 kg object initially at rest.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option C. 5,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>

Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed

P=mv

The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object

m_1=(100\ kg)(50\ m/s)=5,000\ kg\ m/s

m_2=(50\ kg)(0\ m/s) = 0

The sum of the momenta of both objects prior to the collision is

P=5,000\ kg\ m/s+0\ kg\ m/s

\boxed{ P=5,000\ kg\ m/s}

Match the boundary with its characteristic
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>Matching the boundary with its characteristics 1. Convergent - C. Compression 2. Divergent - B. Along ocean ridges 3. Transform - A. Along strike-slip faults The compression that occur in the convergent boundary causes the reverse fault in the earth crust. So in the divergent boundary two crust plates move apart causing a normal fault along the ocean ridges. The faults in the transform boundary happens at the place where plates slide laterally.</span>
