Answer:

3.8 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity hence

Momentum=mv where m is mass and v is the velocity of an object

Making v the subject of the formula then

$v=\frac {momentum}{m}$

Substituting 1710 kgm/s for momentum and 450 Kg for mass we obtain

$v=\frac {1710 Kgm/s}{450 Kg}=3.8 m/s$

Hence the speed of dogsled team is 3.8 m/s

A cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,

vfiekz [6]

The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
$J=F \Delta t$
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
$J=\Delta p$
If we put the two equations together, we find
$F \Delta t= \Delta p$
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
$\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s$

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

$\eta$ = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

$P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW$

Waste of power

$2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W$

Number of homes would be given by

$n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes$

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

One peice of evidence that the universe is expanding

AnnyKZ [126]

Who Figured This Out? The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble's Law.
