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.

Nellie pulls on a 10kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30N. If there are no other horizontal forces, what is the wagon

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wagon is 3 m/s².

To calculate the acceleration of the wagon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = ma............. Equation 1

Where:

F = horizontal Force

m = mass of the wagon

a = acceleration of the wagon.

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

F = 30 N

m = 10 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 30/10

a = 3 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the wagon is 3 m/s².

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS The electric field around a positive charge is shown in the diagram. Describe the nature of these lines. P

DENIUS [597]

The field lines spread apart as we move away from the charge, and they point away from the charge

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single-point positive charge is a radial field, whose strength is given by the equation

$E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge at which the field is calculated

There are two pieces of information given by the field lines shown in the graph:

The spacing between the lines gives an indication of the strength of the field: the closer to each other they are, the stronger the field. In this case, as we move away from the charge, the spacing between the lines increases, and this means that the field becomes weaker (in fact, it follows an inverse square law, $E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$
The direction of the lines gives the direction of the electric field, which points away from the central charge. This is because the direction of the electric field corresponds to the direction of the force that a positive test charge would feel when immersed in the electric field: in this case, if we place a positive test charge in this field, then it would get repelled away from the central charge (remember that the electric force between two positive charges is repulsive), and therefore, the direction of the electric field is away from the central charge.

Two objects each moving with speed v travel in opposite directions along a straight line passing through both their centers. The

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{16}$

$\dfrac{5}{3}$

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of first object

$m_2$ = Mass of second object

v = Speed of both objects

$\dfrac{v}{4}$ = Combined velocity

The ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy will be

$\dfrac{K_f}{K_i}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)(\dfrac{v}{4})^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1v^2+m_2v^2)} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{K_f}{K_i}=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)\dfrac{v^2}{16}}{m_1v^2+m_2v^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{K_f}{K_i}=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)\dfrac{1}{16}}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{K_f}{K_i}=\dfrac{1}{16}$

The ratio is $\dfrac{1}{16}$

As the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v-m_2v=(m_1+m_2)\dfrac{v}{4}\\\Rightarrow m_1-m_2=(m_1+m_2)\dfrac{1}{4}$

Divide by $m_2$ on both sides

$\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}-1=\dfrac{m_1}{4m_2}+\dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}-\dfrac{m_1}{4m_2}=\dfrac{1}{4}+1\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3m_1}{4m_2}=\dfrac{5}{4}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{5\times 4}{3\times 4}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{5}{3}$

The ratio of mass is $\dfrac{5}{3}$
