An 8 kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. if its momentum is 16 kg* m/s, how fast is it traveling ?

1 answer:

6 0

From the information given, The mass of the bowling ball is 8 Kilograms and the momentum with which it is moving is 16 kg m/s. We use the formula p = m × v Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need velocity so we rewrite the equation thus: P = mv, therefore p/m = v or v = p/m In our case p = 16 and m = 8 v = p/m v = 16/8 v = 2 Therefore the bowling ball is travelling at 2m/s

An airplane cabin is pressurized to 570 mmhg. what is the pressure inside the cabin in atmospheres?

abruzzese [7]

1 atm corresponds to 760 mmHg, so we can set up a simple proportion to find how many atmospheres correspond to 570 mmHg:
$1 atm: 760 mmHg = x: 570 mmHg$
and from this, we find
$x= \frac{1 atm \cdot 570 mmHg}{760 mmHg} =0.75 atm$

4. A 1,000 kg truck moving at 10 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 seconds for the truck to conipietery

Maru [420]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{h. 20 000 N}}$

Explanation:

Force is the change in momentum over time

F = Δp/Δt

1. Calculate the change in momentum

p₁ = mv₁ = 1000 kg × 10 m/s = 10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

p₂ = 0

Δp = p₂ - p₁= (0 - 10 000) kg·m·s⁻¹ = -10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

2. Calculate the force

$\begin{array}{rcl}F & = & \dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-10 000 \text{ kg$\cdot$m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}{\text{ 0.5 s}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-20 000 N}\\\end{array}\\\text{The negative sign shows that the force is exerted opposite to the direction of motion.}\\\text{The magnitude of the force is $\large \boxed{\textbf{20 000 N}}$}$

Calcium has a charge of +2. The chart lists the charges of different ions.

dexar [7]

The possible resulting chemical formulas for an ionic compound with calcium given the respective charges of the ions are: CaO, CaMg, or CaF₂ and CaO, CaF₂, or CaCl₂. This is because when dealing with these compounds, you simply need to interchange the oxidation state of the two elements and place as the subscript of the element. For instance, when we have Ca²⁺ and F⁻, the result is CaF₂. However, when the oxidation states of the two compounds are equal, the subscript is 1. That is, for Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁻, the result is CaMg. And for Ca²⁺ and Cl⁻, the result is CaCl₂.
