A truck is speeding up as it travels on an interstate. The truck's momentum (in kg · m/s) is proportional to the truck's speed (

in m/s).At some moment the truck's momentum is 50600 kg · m/s and the truck's speed is 23 m/s. At this moment, the truck's momentum (in kg · m/s) is how many times as large as the truck's speed (in m/s)?IncorrectThis means that as the truck travels, the truck's momentum (in kg · m/s) is always Incorrect times as large as the truck's speed (in m/s).If the truck is traveling at 16 m/s, what is the truck's momentum?

Answer:

At the moment, the truck's momentum (in kg · m/s)  is 2200 times as large as the truck's speed (in m/s).

This means that as the truck travels, the truck's momentum (in kg · m/s) is always 2200 times as large as the truck's speed (in m/s).

If the truck is travelling at 16 m/s, the truck's momentum is 35200 kg · m/s.

Explanation:

From the question,

The truck's momentum (in kg · m/s) is proportional to the truck's speed (in m/s).

Let the truck's momentum be P and the truck's speed be v,

Then  we can write that

P∝v

Then,

P = kv

Where k is the proportionality constant

From the question,

At some moment the truck's momentum is 50600 kg · m/s and the truck's speed is 23 m/s,

To determine how many times the truck's speed is as large as the truck's momentum at this moment, we will divide the truck's momentum by the speed, that is

50600 ÷ 23 = 2200

Hence, at the moment, the truck's momentum (in kg · m/s)  is 2200 times as large as the truck's speed (in m/s).

Since, dividing the truck's momentum by the truck's speed gives the proportionality constant k (that is, P/v = k), then

This means that as the truck travels, the truck's momentum (in kg · m/s) is always 2200 times as large as the truck's speed (in m/s).

From

P = kv

Then, k = P/v

At a moment, P = 50600 kg · m/s and v = 23 m/s

∴ k = 50600 kg · m/s ÷ 23 m/s = 2200 kg

k = 2200 kg

To determine the truck's momentum if the truck is traveling at 16 m/s

From

P = kv

k = 2200 kg

v = 16 m/s

∴ P = 2200 kg × 16 m/s

P = 35200 kg · m/s

Hence, if the truck is travelling at 16 m/s, the truck's momentum is 35200 kg · m/s.

The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Wher
igor_vitrenko [27]

The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.

-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of the force AND by  the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still </u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>.   </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>.  All we know is that
one force must have been removed.

-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going. 

-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?

-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?

-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?

I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.

Which type of mountain is created when rock layers are pushed up by forces inside the Earth?
skad [1K]

Correct answer choice is :


B) Upwarped


Explanation:


An upwarped mountain is a mountain consisting of a large area of the Earth's coat that has led smoothly upward without much visible deformation and normally including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are set down in layers called beds or layers. A bed is described as a layer of rock that has a similar lithology and character. Beds form by the removal of layers of sand on top of each other.

A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
