Answer:

<em>J=600 kg m/s </em>

Explanation:

<u>Impulse And Momentum </u>

Suppose a particle is moving at a certain speed v_1 and changes it to v_2. The impulse J is equivalent to the change of linear momentum. The momentum can be computed by

p=mv

The initial and final momentums are given, respectively, by:

p_1=mv_1,\ p_2=mv_2

Thus, the change of momentum is

\Delta p=p_2-p_1=m(v_2-v_1)

It's equal to the Impulse J

J=\Delta p

J=m(v_2-v_1)

Our data is

m=50\ kg,\ v_1=5\ m/s,\ v_2=17\ m/s

J=50\ (17-5)

J=600\ kg\ m/s

In diving to a depth of 248 m, an elephant seal also moves 296 m due east of his starting point. What is the magnitude of the se
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The displacement is 386.16m

Explanation:

A seal dives to a depth of 248m. To find displacement, we must calculate the resultant vectors which will give us the displacement

R= sqrt(vector1+vector2)

Since this is a right angle triangle

R= sqrt(248^2 + 296^2)

R= sqrt(149120)

R= 386.16m

Displacement = 386.16m

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac
tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.
