Answer:

d. 500 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum: This is the product of the mass of a body to its velocity, The S.I unit of momentum is kgm/s.

Mathematically, momentum can be expressed as,

M = mv....................... equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

deduced from the question,

Momentum of the car = momentum of the barrier.

MV = mv ............................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the car, V = velocity of the car, m = mass of the barrier, v = velocity of the barrier.

making v the subject of the equation,

v = MV/m........................ Equation 2

Given: M = 1000 kg, V = 10 m/s, m = 20 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 1000(10)/20

v = 500 m/s.

Hence the speed of the barrier = 500 m/s

The right option is d. 500 m/s

Fed [463]

Answer:

It is (1/5)th as much.

Explanation:

If we apply the equation

F = G*m*M / r²

where

m = mass of a man

M₀ = mass of the planet Driff

M = mass of the Earth

r₀ = radius of the planet Driff

r = radius of the Earth

G = The gravitational constant

F = The gravitational force on the Earth

F₀ = The gravitational force on the planet Driff

g = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth

g₀ = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet Driff

we have

F₀ = G*m*M₀ / r₀² = G*m*(5*M) / (5*r)²    

⇒  F₀ = G*m*M / (5*r²) = (1/5)*F

If

F₀ = (1/5)*F

then

W₀ = (1/5)*W   ⇒  m*g₀ = (1/5)*m*g   ⇒   g₀ = (1/5)*g

It is (1/5)th as much.

goblinko [34]

Answer;

-Sensors

-Sensors are placed on dangerous machinery to detect motion, light, heat, pressure, or another stimulus. Their presence helps protect operators from injury while working on machines.

Explanation;

-Machinery, safety and factory floor sensors and switches help workers become more productive, efficient, and safe.

-Hazardous machines and systems are frequently equipped with safety elements (safety doors) with a locking mechanism to protect the operator. Their function is to prevent hazardous machine functions if the safety door is not closed and locked and to keep the safety door closed and locked until the risk of injury has passed.

AVprozaik [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}</h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x 10^{24} Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = \frac{GM}{r^{2} }

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g =  \frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24})  }{5733^{2} }

g = 12.12 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}

A river 1.00 mile wide flows with a constant speed of 1.00 mph. A man can row a boat at 2.00 mph. He crosses the river in a dire
gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2

V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}

V_T = \sqrt{3}

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

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

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

t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}

t = 1.15hour

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.
