Answer:
The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
Explanation:
Given;
kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf
velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s
The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;


Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of a wedge can be calculated by dividing the length of the wedge's slope by the wedge's width: The more acute, or narrow, the angle of a wedge, the greater the ratio of the length of its slope to its width, and thus the more mechanical advantage it will yield
Answer: <u><em>C. Steel</em></u>
Explanation: <em><u>When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>1,402 meters per second.</u></em>
<em><u /></em>

Answer:
d) I and III only.
Explanation:
Let be
and
the masses of the two laboratory carts and let suppose that
. The expressions for each kinetic energy are, respectively:
and
.
After some algebraic manipulation, the following relation is constructed:

Since
, then
. That is to say,
.
The expressions for each linear momentum are, respectively:
and 
Since
, then
. Which proves that statement I is true.
According to the Impulse Theorem, the impulse needed by cart I is greater than impulse needed by cart II, which proves that statement II is false.
According to the Work-Energy Theorem, both carts need the same amount of work to stop them. Which proves that statement III is true.
