A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?

1 answer:

4 0

According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
= 325 × 2.2 sec
= 715 Ns

Find the average braking force of a 1000 kg car moving at 10 m/s braking to a stop in 5 s.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

-2000 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the impulse theorem, which states that the impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the car:

$I = \Delta p\\F \Delta t = m \Delta v$

where

F is the average breaking force

$\Delta t = 5 s$ is the stopping time

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

$\Delta v = -10 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the car

Solving the equation for F,

$F=\frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(1000 kg)(-10 m/s)}{5 s}=-2000 N$

Barker is unloading 20kg bottles of water from this delivery truck when one of the bottles tips over and slides down the truck r

Degger [83]

The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.

A radioactive substance decays at an annual rate of 131313 percent. If the initial amount of the substance is 325325325 grams, w

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: $f_{(t)}=325(0.87)^{t}$

Explanation:

If we have an initial amount of a radioactive material or substance, which is $325g$ , and we also are told this amount decays $13\%$ each year, this means each year $87\%$ of the substance remains:

$100\%-13\%=87\%=0.87$

To understand it better:

Year 1: $325(87\%)=325(0.87)$

Year 2: $325(0.87)(0.87)=325(0.87)^{2}$

Year 3: $325(0.87)(0.87)(0.87)=325(0.87)^{3}$

and so on until year $t$ :

Year t: $325(0.87)^{t}$

Therefore, the function tha best describes this radiation decay situation is:

$f_{(t)}=325(0.87)^{t}$

Why is it necessary that all three thermometers were at approximately the same distance from the light bulb

iris [78.8K]

I'm assuming it was to keep the data consistent? The further you are from a heat source the less heat will get to you as the temperature tries to reach equilibrium and the waves start to spread out, so you should keep everything the same distance to get consistent results. I don't have any information so this is just my assumption
