Let's calculate the momentum of Fiona, given by the product between its mass and its speed:
p=mv=(313 kg)(8 m/s)=2504 kg m/s

Now let's compare it with the momentum of the other animals:
a) the mass of the sea turtle is missing, so we cannot calculate its momentum.
b) the momentum of the dolphin is 
p=mv=(150 kg)(18 m/s)=2700 kg m/s
c) the momentum of the horse is
p=mv=(380 kg)(4 m/s)=1520 kg m/s
d) the momentum of the lion is
p=mv=(190 kg)(11 m/s)=2090 m/s

And we can see that the correct answer is b), because the momentum of the dolphin is greater than the momentum of Fiona.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

  • v_f= 16 m/s
  • a= 1.2 m/s²
  • t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)

Multiply.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)

16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable v_i. Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s

4 \ m/s = v_i

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>

A train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 m/s in 20 s while travelling on a straight path. It continues to move at the s
Andrej [43]

Answer:

1300 m

Explanation:

As the path is straight, so the speed is equivalent to velocity. Now. assuming that the acceleration and deceleration of the train are constant. So, change of velocity with respect to time for acceleration as well as deceleration is constant. Hence, the slope of the speed-time graph is constant for the time of acceleration as well as deceleration. The speed for the time from 20 s to 70 s is constant, so slope for this interval of time is zero. The speed-time graph is shown in the figure.

The total distance covered by the train during the entire journey is the area of the speed-time graph.

Area=\frac{1}{2}(20\times 20)+ 50\times 20+\frac{1}{2}(20\times 10)

=200+1000+100

=1300

As velocity is in m/s and time is in s so the unit of area is m

Hence, the total distance is  1300m.

The power is inversely proportional with time
trapecia [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Given that Power whose unit is Watt equates to one joule of work per second. It implies that Power is directly proportional to the work done and inversely proportional to the time to do the work.

Therefore, in this case, the right answer to the question is that it is TRUE that the power is inversely proportional with time

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

g/cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above,

The y-axis is representing mass (g)

The x-axis is representing volume (cm³)

Unit of slope =?

Slope of a graph is simply defined as the change in y-axis divided by the change in x-axis. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Slope = change in y-axis (Δy)/change in x-axis (Δx)

Slope = Δy/Δx

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the unit used for measuring the slope as follow:

y-axis = mass (g)

x-axis = volume (cm³)

Slope =.?

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = mass (g) /volume (cm³)

Slope = g/cm³

Therefore, the derive unit used for measuring the slope is g/cm³
