1) The momentum of the airplane is $3.84\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$ east

2) The impulse applied to the airplane is 32,000 kg m/s west

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

The airplane in this problem has

m = 3200 kg is its mass

v = 120 m/s east is its velocity

So, its momentum is

$p=(3200)(120)=3.84\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$

And since momentum is a vector, it also has a direction, which is the same as the velocity (east).

The impulse applied to an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

$I=\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

For the airplane in this problem,

m = 3200 kg

u = 120 m/s

v = 110 m/s

So, the impulse is

$I=(3200)(110-120)=-32,000 kg m/s$

And the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is opposite to the airplane motion, so west.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Leno4ka [110]

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

When s = Db, t = 2t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db$

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db
