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

1 answer:

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.

The friends start by discussing what they know with respect to electric and magnetic fields. Alexa mentions several differences

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

A. "The electric force vector is along the direction of the electric field, whereas the magnetic force vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field."

D. "The kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in an electric field is not altered, whereas the kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is either increased or decreased, depending on the direction of motion."

Explanation:

Electric fields originate from voltage differences, the higher the voltage, the stronger the resulting field. Magnetic fields originate from electric currents, a stronger current results in a stronger field. An electric field exists even if there is no current. When there is current, the magnitude of the magnetic field will change with power consumption, but the strength of the electric field will remain the same.

Answer:

No. Your friend will not hear the clap when he/she sees it.

Explanation:

It takes time for sound waves to go through a large area. It takes longer if people are in the area rather than it is empty.
