A boat floats south on the Amazon River at a speed of 6 m/s. The boat and

EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

Take south to be negative.

a. Momentum is mass times velocity.

p = mv

p = (540 kg) (-6 m/s)

p = -3240 kg m/s

p = 3240 kg m/s south

b. Impulse = change in momentum

J = Δp

Since the mass is constant:

J = mΔv

J = (540 kg) (-4 m/s − (-6 m/s))

J = 1080 kg m/s

J = 1080 kg m/s north

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

Two protons are maintained at a separation of nm. Calculate the electric potential due to the two particles at the midpoint betw

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The electric potential is approximately 5.8 V

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero

Explanation:

The two protons can be considered as point charges. Therefore, the electric potential is given by the point charge potential:

$\displaystyle{U=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}$ (1)

where $q$ is the charge of the particle, $\epsilon_0$ the electric permittivity of the vacuum (I assuming the two protons are in a vacuum) and $r$ is the distance from the point charge to the point where the potential is being measured. Because the electric potential is an scalar, we can simply add the contribution of the two potentials in the midpoint between the protons. Thus:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}+\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}}$

Substituting the values $q=1.602 \cdot10^{-19}\ C$ , $\displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99\cdot 10^9 N\cdot m^2\cdot C^{-2}}$ and $r=0.5 \cdot 10^{-9} m$ we obtain:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}=5.759 \approx 5.8 V}$

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero.
