A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,

it's momentum would be

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A) 17.7 m/s

B) 15.98 m

C) Zero

E) 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

given information

distance, h = - 34 m

time, t = 5 s

A) What is the initial speed of the egg?

h - h₀ = v₀t - \frac{1}{2} gt², h₀ = 0

- 34 = v₀ 5 - \frac{1}{2} 9.8 5²

- 34 = 5 v₀ - 122.5

v₀ = 122.5 - 34/5

    = 17.7 m/s

B) How high does it rise above its starting point?

v² = v₀² - 2gh

v = 0 (highest point)

2gh = v₀²

h = v₀²/2g

  = 17.7²/2 (9.8)

  = 15.98 m

C) What is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point?

v = 0 (at highest point)

E) What are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration at the highest point?

g= 9.8 m/s², since the egg is moved vertically, the acceleration is the same as the gravitational acceleration.

Why do lithospheric plates move constantly?
Charra [1.4K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Lithospheric plates move constantly due to the density differences. Lithospheric plates<span> are another name for tectonic plates, which are part of the Earth's uppermost layer, the crust.</span>

Aneli [31]

Answer

given,

x = (3.9 cm)sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt]

general equation of displacement

x = A sin ω t

A is amplitude

now on comparing

c) Amplitude  =3.9 cm

a) frequency =

     f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

     f = \dfrac{9.3\pi}{2\pi}

           f = 4.65 Hz

b) period of motion

        T= \dfrac{1}{f}

        T= \dfrac{1}{4.65}

        T = 0.215 s

d) time when displacement is equal to x= 2.6 cm

x = (3.9 cm)sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt]

2.6 = (3.9 cm)sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt]

sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt] = 0.667

9.3 π t = 0.73

t = 0.025 s
