Answer:

1 m/s west

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

J = m Δv

Taking east to be positive:

300 kg m/s = (75 kg) (v − (-5 m/s))

v = -1 m/s

His new velocity is 1 m/s west.

Which of the following is a vector quantity?<br> speed<br> distance<br> acceleration
laiz [17]
C) Acceleration
For example, if person A is the observer, then he/she can predict the distance or speed or time by simply looking at it. But at the same time, the observer can't predict the acceleration of a moving object as he/she can't determine the direction of the object. So, without a direction, the acceleration can't be predicted. For example, displacement, force, velocity, momentum, etc. are vector quantities.
◙ But, Distance, speed and time are only specified with their magnitude. For example, work, volume, density, mass, etc. don't need a direction for their representation.
So, (c)Acceleration is the answer.

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

An unknown mass is on a flat frictionless surface and a 2 kg object is attached to it with a string going over pulleyt mounted t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

F=ma

F in this case is the gravity acting on the 2kg object. Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. SF=ma, so

F = 2kg*(9.8 m/s^2) = 19.6 N

Now use this force to determine the mass of the object on the table:

F=ma

19.6 N (1N=kg*m/s^2) = m*(1.8 m/s^2)

m = 10.89 kg

A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 200 m long,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

d) 289.31 m

Explanation:

Energy provided by potential energy = mgh = m x 9.8x 200 sin10.5 = 357.18m

Energy used by friction = μmgcos 10.5 x 200 = .075 x m x 9.8 x cos 10.5 x200 = 144.54 m .

Energy used by friction on plain surface = μmg x d.( dis distance covered on plain ) =.075x m x 9.8 xd = .735 m d

To equate

357.18 m -144.54 m = .735 m d

d = 289.31 m .
