An object is moving but we don't know its mass or velocity. A force of 20 newtons to the right

The impulse is (force) x (time) = (20 N) x (20 sec) = 400 N-sec

When we grind through the units, we find that the [newton-second]
is exactly the same as the [kilogram-meter/sec] unit-wise, and once
we know that, it doesn't surprise us to learn that impulse is equivalent
to a change in momentum (mass x speed ... also kg-m/s).

So this impulse exerted on the moving object adds 400 kg-m/s of
linear momentum to its motion, directed to the right.  That may or
may not be the total change in its momentum during that 20-sec,
because our 20-N may not be the only force acting on it.

A standard basketball (mass = 624 grams; 24.3 cm in diameter) is held fully under water. a. Calculate the buoyant force and weig
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass = 624 gm = .624 kg

weight = .624 x 9.8

= 6.11 N

Radius of ball = 12.15 x 10⁻² cm

volume of ball

= 4/3 x 3.14 x ( 12.15 x 10⁻²)³

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ x 10³ x 9.8

= 73.59 N

b ) Since buoyant force exceeds the weight of the ball , it will float .

c )

Let volume v sticks out while floating .

Volume under water

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v

its weight

= (7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ x 9.8

For floating

(7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ x 9.8  =  .624 x 9.8 ( weight of ball )

(7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ = .624

7.509 - v x 10³ = .624

v x 10³ = 7.509 - .624

v x 10³ = 6.885

v = 6.885 x 10⁻³ m³

fraction

= v / total volume

=  6.885 x 10⁻³ / 7.51 x 10⁻³

An airplane went from 120 m/s to 180 m/s in 4.0 seconds. What was its acceleration?
scoundrel [369]
<span>15 m/s^2 The first thing to calculate is the difference between the final and initial velocities. So 180 m/s - 120 m/s = 60 m/s So the plane changed velocity by a total of 60 m/s. Now divide that change in velocity by the amount of time taken to cause that change in velocity, giving 60 m/s / 4.0 s = 15.0 m/s^2 Since you only have 2 significaant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures giving 15 m/s^2</span>

And air rifle pellet of mass 2 g Is fired into a block of modelling clay mounted on a model railway track. The trunk and modelli
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

0.0816 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum of the pellet just before it hits the modelling clay is = (mass of the pellet+ mass of the truck clay)×initial velocity of pellet.

P =(M+m)u...................... Equation 1

Where P =  initial momentum of the pellet, m = mass of the pellet, u = initial speed of the pillet, M = mass of the truck

Given: m = 2 g = 2/1000 kg = 0.002 kg, u = 0.8 m/s, M = 0.1 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (0.002+0.1)0.8

P = (0.102)0.8

P = 0.0816 kgm/s
