An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s

1. A train is moving north at 5 m/s on a straight track. The engine is causing it to accelerate northward at 2 m/s^2.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

(D) x = 93.8 m

Explanation:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

(20 m/s)^2 = (5 m/s)^2 + 2(2 m/s^2)x

Solving for x,

x = 93.8 m

A motorcycle is traveling up one side of a hill and down the other side. The crest of the hill is a circular arc with a radius o

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

21.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill (crest), there are two forces acting on the motorcycle:

- The reaction force of the road, N (upward)

- The force of gravity, mg (downward)

Since the motorcycle is moving by circular motion, the resultant of these forces will give the centripetal force, so:

$mg-N = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the direction of the weight (mg) is equal to that of the centripetal force, and where

m is the mass of the cycle

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed

r = 48.6 is the radius of the hill

The cycle loses contact with the road when the reaction force becomes zero:

N = 0

Substituting into the equation, we therefore find the maximum speed that is allowed for the cycle before losing constact:

$mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8)(48.6)}=21.8 m/s$

A jet plane travels at 40.8 km at an average speed of 340 m/s calculate how long this journey took- giveyour answer to the neare

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$2\ \text{minutes}$

Explanation:

d = Distance traveled = 40.8 km

s = Speed of jet = 340 m/s

Time is given by

$t=\dfrac{d}{s}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{40.8\times 10^3}{340}$

$\Rightarrow t=120\ \text{s}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{120}{60}=2\ \text{minutes}$

The time taken to complete the journey is $2\ \text{minutes}$ .
