A car of mass 1500 kg travels due East with a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. Eventually it turns right, and travels due South with

a constant speed of 15 m/s. By making the turn, and reducing its speed, the car’s linear momentum changed. What was the direction of the car’s change in linear momentum? Give a numerical answer that is an angle, with a qualifier such as North-of-East, or West-of-North, etc

Answer:

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass of a body and its velocity

Momentum = mass × velocity

Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

∆P = m∆v

∆P = m(v-u)

Given m = 1500kg

v = 25m/s

u = 15m/s

∆P = 1500(25-15)

∆P = 1500×10

∆P = 15,000kgm/s

Since the car first travels due East i.e +x direction

x = 25m/s

Travelling due south is negative y direction

y = -15m/s

Direction of the car change

θ = tan^-1(y/x)

θ = tan^-1(-15/25)

θ = tan^-1(-0.6)

θ = -30.96°

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant

θ = 180-30.96

θ = 149.04°

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

the SI and CGS unit of force are newton and dyne respectively haow many dynes are equal to one newton​
Triss [41]

Answer:

For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s2), is equal to 100000 dynes.

A bike with 15cm diameter wheels accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.1m/s over a distance of 35.4m. Determine the an
Finger [1]

Answer:

9.47 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Diameter = 15 cm, radius, r = diameter / 2 = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m, u = 0, v = 7.1 m/s,

s = 35.4 m

let a be the linear acceleration.

Use III equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s

7.1 x 7.1 = 0 + 2 x a x 35.4

a = 0.71 m/s^2

Now the relation between linear acceleration and angular acceleration is

a = r x α

where,  α is angular acceleration

α = 0.71 / 0.075 = 9.47 rad/s^2

makkiz [27]

Answer:

An ultra intense laser is one with which intensities greater than 1015 W cm-2 can be achieved.

Explanation:

This intensity, which was the upper limit of lasers until the invention of the Chirped Pulse Amplification, CPA technique, is the value around which nonlinear effects on the transport of radiation in materials begin to appear.

Currently, the most powerful lasers reach intensities of the order of 1021W cm-2 and powers of Petawatts, PW, in each pulse. This range of intensities has opened the door for lasers to a multitude of disciplines and scientific areas traditionally reserved for accelerators and nuclear reactors, applying as generators of high-energy electron, ion, neutron and photon beams, without the need for expensive infrastructure.
