Almost in every Physics books, momentum is denoted by P with small arrow(→) pointing towards right, placed on top of P.
I am guessing you asked about linear momentum.

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: v_f=v_0+a*t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration, and t is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s}  }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s, where v_f=0\frac{m}{s} because the sled is totally stopped, v_0=282\frac{m}{s} is the velocity of the sled before braking and, a=-201\frac{m}{s^2} is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2, where x_f-x_0 is the distance traveled, v_0 is the initial velocity, t the time of the process and, a is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m.

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

for any object suspended by any number of ropes, wires, or chains, how is the total amount of tension (tension in each rope adde
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

To calculate the tension on a rope holding 1 object, multiply the mass and gravitational acceleration of the object. If the object is experiencing any other acceleration, multiply that acceleration by the mass and add it to your first total.

Explanation:

The tension in a given strand of string or rope is a result of the forces pulling on the rope from either end. As a reminder, force = mass × acceleration. Assuming the rope is stretched tightly, any change in acceleration or mass in objects the rope is supporting will cause a change in tension in the rope. Don't forget the constant acceleration due to gravity - even if a system is at rest, its components are subject to this force. We can think of a tension in a given rope as T = (m × g) + (m × a), where "g" is the acceleration due to gravity of any objects the rope is supporting and "a" is any other acceleration on any objects the rope is supporting.[2]

For the purposes of most physics problems, we assume ideal strings - in other words, that our rope, cable, etc. is thin, massless, and can't be stretched or broken.

As an example, let's consider a system where a weight hangs from a wooden beam via a single rope (see picture). Neither the weight nor the rope are moving - the entire system is at rest. Because of this, we know that, for the weight to be held in equilibrium, the tension force must equal the force of gravity on the weight. In other words, Tension (Ft) = Force of gravity (Fg) = m × g.

Assuming a 10 kg weight, then, the tension force is 10 kg × 9.8 m/s2 = 98 Newtons.

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals.
Bess [88]

time should you wait between pushes is 2.83 sec.

the question is incomplete, full statement is-

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals. If you want to increase the amplitude of her motion as quickly as possible, how much time should you wait between pushes?

<h3>What is Amplitude?</h3>

In physics, amplitude refers to the greatest displacement or distance that a point on a vibrating body or wave may move relative to its equilibrium location. It is equivalent to the vibration path's half-length.

regular interval - at similarly spaced intervals: having the same interval of time between occurrences From 4 a.m. to midnight, the buses operate at regular intervals. The boards are positioned at regular intervals, with an equal amount of space between each.

The length of swing, l = 2.1 m

The time between the pushes is nothing but the Time period

and is given by the formula,

T = 2\pi  ( \frac{l}{g}  )^{\frac{1}{2} }

= 2 * 3.14 ( 2.0/ 9.8 ) ^ (1/2)

= 2.83 sec
