Use the impulse-momentum theorem.

$Ft = mv$

Substitute your known values:

$(120kg)(20m/s) = F(1.5)

F= 1600N$

Hope this helps!

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same route, now with a headwind, tak

Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph$

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph$

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

$V_{plane} = 175 mph$

$v_{wind} = 25 mph$

A stationary 6-kg shell explodes into three pieces. One 4.0 kg piece moves horizontally along the negative x-axis. The other two

natta225 [31]

Answer:

-15 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the 4.0 kg fragment is shown below:

For this question, we use the correlation of the momentum along with horizontal x axis

Given that

Weight of stationary shell = 6 kg

Other two fragments each = 1.0 kg

Angle = 60

Speed = 60 m/s

Based on the above information, the velocity = v is

$1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 + 1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 - 4\ v = 0$

$\frac{60}{2} + \frac{60}{2} - 4\ v = 0$

$v = \frac{60}{4}$

= -15 m/s

Explain the difference between the terms "rotation" and "revolution"

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.
