Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>D. 803 lbs</u>

Two carts connected by a 0.05 m spring hit a wall, compressing the spring to 0.02 m. The spring constant k is
vivado [14]

Answer:

0.045 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The elastic potential energy stored in a spring is given as,

E = 1/2ke²...................... Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Given: k = 100 N/m, e = 0.05-0.02 = 0.03 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 1/2(100)(0.03²)

E = 50(9×10⁻⁴)

E = 0.045 J

Hence the right option is 0.045 J

True or false The momentum of a 100kg object traveling at 3 m/s is 300 N
melomori [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of its mass and velocity at which it is travelling. With that in mind, momentum = 3*100=300(kg⋅m/s).

One thing to note is the units mentioned. The SI unit of momentum is kg * m/s as it is the product of mass(kilograms) and velocity(meter per second) and not Newton.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a. i=4760 kg*m/s

b. D_U= 1.11 m

Explanation:

a)

F= 120,000N

Kinetic energy @ impact = 120,000*depth

K_E= (1/2)*85kg*(56m/s)^2

K_E=133280 J

D_U= \frac{133280J}{120000N} = 1.11 m

b)

The momentum is equal to the impulse on him from the snow so:

p=m*v

p=85kg*56m/s

i=4760 kg*m/s
