v=v2-v1=15-10=5 cm/s

p=mv=0.15•5=0.75 kg•cm/s

Answer : The correct option is, (A) 7.5 mN.s

Explanation :

Impulse : It is defined as the force applied to an object for a certain amount of time.

Formula used :

$I=F\times \Delta t$

As we know that:

$F=m\times \Delta a\\\\\Delta a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

Thus, formula of impulse will be:

$I=m\times \Delta v$

where,

I = impulse = ?

m = mass = 0.15 kg

$\Delta v$ = change in speed of velocity = $v_{final}-v_{initial}=15cm/s-10cm/s=5cm/s=0.05m/s$ (1 m = 100 cm)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$I=(0.15kg)\times (0.05m/s)$

$I=0.0075kg.m/s=0.0075N.s=7.5mN.s$ (1 N.s = 1000 mN.s)

Therefore, the impulse acting on the car is, 7.5 mN.s

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope as it starts down the slope its speed is 4m/s but 3 seconds

Gwar [14]

Answer:

The acceleration is 6 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can find the acceleration of the roller coaster using the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion.

$v_{f} =v_{i} + a*t\\where:\\v_{f} = final velocity = 22 [m/s]\\v_{i} = initial velocity = 4 [m/s]\\t = time = 3 [s]\\$

Now replacing the values we have:

$a=\frac{v_{f} - v_{i} }{t} \\a=\frac{22 - 4 }{3}\\a = 6 [m/s^{2} ]$

Which produces more gravitational force on your textbook: you or the earth?

Yuri [45]

The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up

How long would it take to travel 10 light years at the speed of light?

Vladimir79 [104]

A light year is the DISTANCE light travels through vacuum in 1 year.

If light is traveling through vacuum, then it's traveling at the speed of light in vacuum. If a student at home at the beginning of the trip is holding the clock, then ...

Traveling 1 light year takes 1 year.

Traveling 2 light years takes 2 years.

Traveling 3 light years takes 3 years.

Traveling 10 light years takes 10 years.

If the light is traveling through some other substance, or if the clock is traveling along with the light, then these numbers all change.

YOU cannot travel at the speed of light. We have to just leave it at that

A baseball bat changes the momentum of a ball with an impulse of 13.8 Nᐧs. What is the average force that the bat exerts on the

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

13800 N

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of average force and time expressed as I=Ft where I is the impulse which results into change in momentum, F is the average force and t is the time of impact. Making F the subject of formula then

$F=\frac {I}{t}$

Substituting I with 13.8 N.s and time, t witg 0.001 s then the average force is calculated as

$F=\frac {13.8 N.s}{0.001}=13800N$

Therefore, the average force is equivalent to 13800 N

Thought Experiment: A monkey escapes from a zoo and climbs a tree. After failing to entice the monkey down, a zookeeper fires a

Andreyy89

Explanation:

When bullet is shot towards the monkey then let say the distance of monkey from the bullet is "d"

so we can find the time to reach the bullet to the monkey

$t = \frac{d}{vcos\theta}$

Now similarly we can find the vertical displacement of the bullet in the same time

$\Delta y = vsin\theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$\Delta y = v sin\theta (\frac{d}{vcos\theta}) - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

so it is given as

$\Delta y = d tan\theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

here if the monkey is initially at height H above the ground at given angle then we can say

$H = dtan\theta$

so we can say that

$\Delta y = H - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

So if at the same time monkey will fall down then the height of monkey from ground after time "t" is given as

$\Delta y = H - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

so here bullet will hit the monkey as both monkey and bullet are at same position.
