Answer:

A) yes

Explanation:

First section of trip: 30 miles in 40 minutes

Second section of trip: 15 miles in 20 minutes

The formula for speed is distance over time $k=\frac{d}{t}$

Calculate the speeds for each section of the trip.

First:

k = d/t

k = 30miles/40minutes <= reduce fraction by 10 (30÷10 and 40÷10)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Second:

k = d/t

k = 15miles/20minutes <= reduce fraction by 5 (15÷5 and 20÷5)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Therefore there is a constant speed because both sections of the trip are driving at "3 miles / 4 minutes".

3 miles / 4 minutes can be also formatted as:

0.75 miles per minute.

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub

aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse ( $F \times t$ ). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

$s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$ .

Thus, impulse

$= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

From Newton`s second law,

$F =mg$

Therefore, impulse

$= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}$

Given, $m = 7.3 kg$ and $s = 2.0 m$

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse

$= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns$ .

<h2>Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds</h2>

Explanation:

Given that gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object and the center of the Earth.

$F=\frac{k}{r^2}$
