Answer:

Rate of change of potential V at the point P (2,6,5) in the direction (u = i + j - k) is

(û.∇V) = 6.928

Explanation:

V(x,y,z) = (2x² − 3xy + xyz)

Rate of change of a potential, V, in a direction, u, at a point P, is given as (û.∇V)

where û = unit vector in the direction of u = (vector u)/(magnitude of u)

u = v = i + j − k

Magnitude of u = √[(1²) + (1²) + (-1)²] = √3

û = (i + j − k)/(√3)

∇V = [(∂/∂x)î + (∂/∂y)j + (∂/∂z)k](V) at point (2,6,5)

V(x,y,z) = (2x² − 3xy + xyz)

(∂V/∂x) = 4x - 3y + yz = 4(2) - 3(6) + (6)(5) = 20

(∂V/∂y) = - 3x + xz = -3(2) + (2)(5) = 4

(∂V/∂z) = xy = (2)(6) = 12

∇V = (20î + 4j + 12k)

Rate of change of potential V = (û.∇V)

û = (1/√3) (i + j − k)

(û.∇V) = (1/√3) [(i + j − k).(20î + 4j + 12k)]

(û.∇V) = (1/√3) [20 + 4 - 12) = 12/√3 = 6.928

If a 5000-kg is moving at a speed of 43 m/s, what is its momentum?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

215000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the moving body  = 5000kg

Velocity  = 43m/s

Unknown:

Momentum  = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion a body possess.

 It is mathematically expressed as:

  Momentum  = mass x velocity

 Now:

  Momentum  = 5000 x 43  = 215000kgm/s

Gwar [14]
Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.
 
So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
Firlakuza [10]
The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>
