Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)

How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Since the carspeed is in km/h, we need equal units, so we will make 100.0m 0.1000km.

Then we need to find how long it takes the car to travel 0.1km

We can use the formula distance=speed * time and get

0.1=45 * time

Therefore we get .002222... hours

Multiplying this by 3600 (to get seconds, 60x60), we get 8 seconds

During which interval is the object not moving
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Between 2.0 s and 4.0 s (B and C)

Between 5.0 s and 8.0 s (D and E)

Between 10.0 s and 11.0 s (F and G)

Explanation:

The graph shown in the figure is a velocity-time graph, which means that:

- On the x-axis, the time is plotted

- On the y-axis, the velocity is plotted

Therefore, this means that the object is not moving when the line is horizontal (because at that moment, the velocity is constant, so the object is not moving). This occurs in the following intervals:

Between 2.0 s and 4.0 s (B and C)

Between 5.0 s and 8.0 s (D and E)

Between 10.0 s and 11.0 s (F and G)

From the graph, it would be possible to infer additional information. In particular:

- The area under the graph represents the total distance covered by the object

- The slope of the graph represents the acceleration of the object

According to the momentum principle, the change in momentum of an object equals the impulse, which depends on______
3241004551 [841]

Answer: The momentum principle depends on MASS and VELOCITY.

Explanation:

The momentum principle states that net force changes the the momentum of an object where momentum is the product of the MASS of the body and it's VELOCITY.

Thus, momentum = mass(kg) ×velocity( m/s)= kgm/s ( derived unit)

Also to determine the rate of change of momentum;

Mass=m, initial velocity =u, final velocity = V and time =t

Initial momentum = mu

Final momentum = mv

Change in momentum = mv - mu

= m( v- u)

Rate of change of momentum=

m( v -u)/t --> equation 1

But V = u + at

Hence, a = v -u/t

Substitute for v -u/ t in equation 1

F = Kma, where k is constant and has the value of 1.

Therefore F = ma

Newton is the SI unit if force. It is defined as the force which gives a mass of 1kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².

IMPULSE is defined as the change of momentum of a body (mv-mu) or the product of force and time.

Thus impulse = force × time = m (v-u)

The unit is Ns ( Newton seconds) which is the same as change in momentum.
