The correct answer is the one with 45000 kg*km/hr.
the formula is p = m*v 
 900 *50/hr  giving u 45000 
I know this is the correct answer because i have already turned it in and got a 100%.

Answer: The magnitude of momentum will be equal to 12,500 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object and velocity of the object.

Mathematically,

p=mv

where, p = momentum

m = mass of the object ( in kg) = 900 kg

v = velocity of the object ( in m/s) = 50km/hr = \left(\frac{50\times 1000}{3600}\right)m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p=900kg\times \left(\frac{50\times 1000}{3600}\right)m/s=12500kg.m/s

Hence, the magnitude of momentum will be equal to 12,500 kg m/s.

Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute

Consider the position vs. time graph below for a woman's movement in a hallway. What is the woman's velocity from 4 to 5 s?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The answer is "6\  \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

The formula for velocity:

\to \overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}

      =\frac{6}{1}\\\\=6\  \frac{m}{s}

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c
frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

2) zero acceleration

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.

In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.
