Answer:

5682 kg

Explanation:

The momentum of a moving object is given by:

$p=mv$

where m is the mass of the object while v is its velocity.

In this problem, we know the velocity of the truck (v=22.0 m/s) and its momentum (p=125,000 kg m/s), therefore we can rearrange the previous formula to calculate the mass of the truck:

$m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{125,000 kg m/s}{22.0 m/s}=5682 kg$

What is a partial and total lunar eclipse?

Minchanka [31]

Partial Lunar Eclipse:

A partial lunar eclipse is when the earth gets between the Sun and Moon. However, all three bodies are not in alignment meaning we are able to see some more like part of the moon's surface as it moves in route of the Earth's shadow.

Total Lunar Eclipse:

The three celestial bodies are perfectly aligned which allows for the earth to completely block the sun's rays from hitting/reaching the moon. The sun is positions is in back of the Earth which then causes the shadow of the earth to be cast on the Moon covering the moon completely. When that happens you get the phenomenon called a total lunar eclipse.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

A 460 g , 6.0-cm-diameter can is filled with uniform, dense food. It rolls across the floor at 1.1 m/s . Part A What is the can'

Reika [66]

Answer:

the can's kinetic energy is 0.42 J

Explanation:

given information:

Mass, m = 460 g = 0.46 kg

diameter, d = 6 cm, so r = d/2 = 6/2 = 3 cm = 0.03 m

velocity, v = 1.1 m/s

the kinetic energy of the can is the total of kinetic energy of the translation and rotational.

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ I ω^2 + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

where

I = $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ and ω = $\frac{v}{r}$

thus,

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ ( $\frac{v}{r}$ )^2 + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ $\frac{v^{2} }{r^{2}}$ + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{4} mv^{2}$ + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{3}{4} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{3}{4} (0.46) (1.1)^{2}$

= 0.42 J

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2

MArishka [77]

From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
= 2×9.81×0.43
= 8.4366
u = √8.4366
=2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
= 2.905/9.81
= 0.296 seconds
