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

A weight lifter does 700J of work on a weight that he lifts in 3.1s. What is the power with
IgorLugansk [536]

Power = Work done/Time taken

So, keeping this in mind,we can solve it as follows:

= 700/3.1

= 7000/31

= 225.80 W

What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mmmm below the center of the bottom surface of the plate
Aleksandr [31]

Complete Question

A thin, horizontal, 12-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to 4.4 nC . Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on the surface. What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mm above the center of the top surface of the plate?

Answer:

The  values is  E =248.2 \  N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  diameter is  d =  12 \  cm  =  0.12 \ m

    The charge  is  Q =  4.4 nC  =  4.4 *10^{-9} \  C

    The  distance from the center  is  k =  0.1 \ mm   =  1*10^{-4} \  m

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as

        r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>     r =  \frac{0.12}{2}

=>       r =  0.06 \  m

Generally electric field is mathematically represented as  

       E =  \frac{Q}{ 2\epsilon_o } [1 - \frac{k}{\sqrt{r^2 +  k^2 } } ]

substituting values  

      E =  \frac{4.4 *10^{-9}}{ 2* (8.85*10^{-12}) } [1 - \frac{(1.00 *10^{-4})}{\sqrt{(0.06)^2 +  (1.0*10^{-4})^2 } } ]

     E =248.2 \  N/C
