Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .

So 907,175 kg-m/s = (36,287 kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (36,287 kg):

Speed = (907,175 kg-m/s) / (36,287 kg)

Speed = 25 m/s

That's the truck's speed. We can't do anything that involves the truck's velocity, because we don't know what direction the truck is moving.

The answer would be 25 m/s, I know because I just did it and got it right.

If a ball takes 12 seconds to hit the ground, how fast was it falling when it hit the ground?

Maru [420]

Answer:

Roughly around 117.6 mph

Explanation

To find out something's speed (or velocity) after a certain amount of time, you just multiply the acceleration of gravity by the amount of time since it was let go of. So you get: velocity = -9.81 m/s^2 * time, or V = gt. The negative sign just means that the object is moving downwards.

Two blocks of masses 8 kg and 4.3 kg are placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A light spring is attached to one of them

oee [108]

Answer:

The velocity of other mass is 3.60 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first block = 8 kg

mass of second block = 4.3 kg

Speed = 6.7 m/s

We need to calculate the speed of first mass

Using conservation of momentum

$(m_{1}+m_{2})u=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

where, m₁ =mass of first block

m₂ =mass of second block

m₁ =mass of first block

v₂ =speed of second block

Put the value into the formula

$8+4.3\times0=8\times v_{1}+4.3\times6.7$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{-4.3\times6.7}{8}$

$v_{1}=-3.60\ m/s$

Negative sign represent the opposite direction of initial value.

Hence, The velocity of other mass is 3.60 m/s.

The basic concept that needs to be understood is that sound travels faster through a dense medium. Now if we check the options given in the question, then they should be arranged in the manner given below.
1. The sound waves in hot air.
2. The sound waves in cold air.
3. The sound waves in water.
4. The sound waves in steel.

During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be lau

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$T=6.75s$

Explanation:

We must separate the motion into two parts, the first when the rocket's engines is on and the second when the rocket's engines is off. So, we need to know the height ( $h_1$ ) that the rocket reaches while its engine is on and we need to know the distance ( $h_2$ ) that it travels while its engine is off.

For solving this we use the kinematic equations:

In the first part we have:

$h_1=v_0T+\frac{1}{2}aT^2\\h_1=0*T+\frac{1}{2}(16\frac{m}{s^2})T^2\\h_1=8\frac{m}{s^2}T^2\\$

and the final speed is:

$v_f=v_0+aT\\v_f=0+16\frac{m}{s^2}T\\v_f=16\frac{m}{s^2}T$

In the second part, the final speed of the first part it will be the initial speed, and the final speed is zero, since gravity slows it down the rocket.

So, we have:

$v_f^2=v_0^2+2gh_2\\2gh_2=v_f^2-v_0^2\\h_2=\frac{v_f^2-v_0^2}{2g}\\h_2=\frac{0^2-(16\frac{m}{s^2}T)^2}{2(-9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}\\h_2=\frac{-256\frac{m^2}{s^4}T^2}{-19.6\frac{m}{s^2}}\\h_2=13.06\frac{m}{s^2}T^2$

The sum of these heights will give us the total height, which is known:

$h=h_1+h_2\\960m=8\frac{m}{s^2}T^2+13.06\frac{m}{s^2}T^2\\960m=21.06\frac{m}{s^2}T^2\\T^2=\frac{960m}{21.06\frac{m}{s^2}}\\T^2=45.58s^2\\T=\sqrt{45.58s^2}\\T=6.75s$

This is the time that its needed in order for the rocket to reach the required altitude.
