Answer:

Momentum, p = 735 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bike, m = 7 kg

Speed of the bike, v = 15 m/s

Mass of Rita, m' = 42 kg

The expression for the momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Here, m is the total mass of bike and Rita

$p=(m+m')v$

$p=(7+42)\ kg\times 15\ m/s$

p = 735 kg-m/s

So, her momentum is 735 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Momentum = mass (kg) * velocity (m/s)

Total mass = mass of bike + mass of Rita = 7 + 42 = 49 Kg 

Momentum = 49 * 15 = 735 = 7.35 * 10^2 = 7.4 * 10^2 to one decimal place

Final answer is 7.4 × 102 kilogram m/s

Gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other’s gravitational force true or false

Nezavi [6.7K]

It's true that gravity holds planets in orbit. However, this is due to the gravitational influence of the sun, not the gravitational influence of other planets.

laser light hits two very narrow slits that are separated by 0.1mm adn is viewwed on a screen 2m downstream. Sketch on the axis

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

d y / x = m λ

Explanation:

When the laser beam, which is a coherent light, hits the slits, part of each beam passes through each slit.

When this is observed on a screen that is quite far from the slits, a series of intense linear separated by dark areas. The explanation for this distribution of the light pattern is that when adding the rays that come out of the slits they travel different distances, which introduces a difference in optical path and if this difference is an integer multiple of the wavelength, a bright line

d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the distance between the slits (0.1 mm)

Also, since the angle of the measurements is small, we can approximate the tangent

tan θ = y / x = sin θ /sin θ

sint θ = y / x

Substituting into the equation

d y / x = m λ

This expression gives the location of the bright lines on the screen

A 3 inch fire hose has a water flow of 200 gallons per minute. What is the flow in liters per second? Note: Use US gallons not U

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Case I: 12.617 L/s

Case II: 161.406 cubic meters per hour

Case III: 1.062 Pound inches

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of water flow = 200 gallons per minute
Speed of air blow = 95 cubic feet per minute
Measure of Torque = 12 Newton centimeter

Assumptions:

1 US gallon = 3.785 L
1 min = 60 s
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 h = 60 min
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 N = 0.2248 lb

Case I:

$Speed\ of\ water\ flow = 200 \dfrac{gallon}{min}\\\Rightarrow V_{water} = 200\times \dfrac{3.785\ L}{60\ s}\\\Rightarrow V_{water} = 12.617\ L/s$

Case II:

$Speed\ of\ air\ blow = 95 \dfrac{ft^3}{min}\\\Rightarrow V_{air} = 95\times \dfrac{(0.3048\ m)^3}{\dfrac{1}{60}\ h}\\\Rightarrow V_{air} = 95\times (0.3048)^3\times 60\ m^3/h\\\Rightarrow V_{air} = 161.406\ m^3/h$

Case III:

$Measure\ of\ torque = 12\ N cm\\\Rightarrow \tau = 12\times (0.2248\ lb)\times \dfrac{1}{2.54}\ in\\ \Rightarrow \tau = 1.062\ lb in$
