Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

\dfrac{m}{t} = Mass flow rate = 1 kg/s

v = Final velocity = 6 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Force is obtained when we divide change in momentum by time

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{m}{t}(v-u)\\\Rightarrow F=1(6-0)\\\Rightarrow F=6\ N

The force the person exert on the extinguisher in order to prevent it from accelerating is 6 N

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9 s

b) 167.8 m

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this question we need to make use of the equations of motion of both the motorcycle xm(t) and the car xc(t) at t=5

Let us consider the position of the motorcycle at t=5 as the origin, that is:

xm(t+5) = vt + (1/2)at^2

xc(t+5) = vt + 60 m

where v = 22.0m/s  and   a=5m/s^2

We are looking for the time t' when the position of the car and the motorcycle are the same:

xm(t'+5)=xc(t'+5)

vt' + (1/2)at'^2 = vt' +60m

t' = √(120 m /a) = 4.89898... s

Since we are considering the origin of the cooordinate system at the position when the motorcycle starts to accelerate, the distance travelled by the motorcycle until it catches the car is given by:

xm(t'+5)= vt' + (1/2)at'^2

xm(9.89898s) = (22 * 9.89898 + 2.5 * 9.89898^2)m

xm(9.89898s)= 167.777... m

He amount of current flowing in a circuit can be measured by
Papessa [141]

First question:
The magnitude of current flowing in a circuit is described in
units of Amperes.  The device used to measure it is an Ampmeter,
or Ammeter.

Second question:
This question is so absurd that it should not be dignified with an
answer.  Although 'E' is often used as the symbol for Electromotive
force, potential difference, and voltage, there's certainly no rule. 
Anyone is free to use  'M',  'Q',  'Θ', or  'Щ' to denote voltage when
they write electrical formulas, just as long as they make sure to
explain the meaning of whatever symbols they use.
