While playing basketball in PE class, Logan lost his balance after making a lay-up and colliding with the padded wall behind the

basket. His 74-kg body decelerated from 7.6 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.16 seconds.
a. Determine the force acting upon Logan's body.
b. If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds. Determine what the force on his body would have been for such an abrupt collision.

Answer:

a.) F = 3515 N

b.) F = 140600 N

Explanation: given that the

Mass M = 74kg

Initial velocity U = 7.6 m/s

Time t = 0.16 s

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

F = (74×7.6)/0.16

F = 3515 N

b.) If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds

Change in momentum = 74×7.6 + 74×7.6

Change in momentum = 562.4 + 562.4 = 1124.8 kgm/s

F = 1124.8/0.0080 = 140600 N

Electric Field of Ring of Charge A ring shaped charge has a radius of 0.250 meters and bears a total charge of +5.00 C What is t
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

6.44 × 10^10 N/C

Explanation:

Electric field due to the ring on its axis is given by

E = K q r / (r^2 + x^2)^3/2

Where r be the radius of ring and x be the distance of point from the centre of ring and q be the charge on ring.

r = 0.25 m, x = 0.5 m, q = 5 C

K = 9 × 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

E = 9 × 10^9 × 5 × 0.25 / (0.0625 + 0.25)^3/2

E = 6.44 × 10^10 N/C

A moving car skids to a stop with the wheels locked across a level roadway. Of the forces listed, identify which act on the car.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance.

Explanation:

When a moving car skid to stop and its wheels are locked across, then the following forces will be applied on the car:

<u>Normal force:</u> It will act counter to gravity that pushes an object against a surface and acts perpendicular to the contact surface.

<u>Gravity:</u> Gravity force acts in each and every object having mass and it can not be avoidable. So, the gravity force will also apply to the car and attract it to the earth's surface.

<u>Friction: </u>Friction is a force that acts opposite to the motion and stops or slows motion. Friction will be applied to the car that will oppose the motion of the car and stop it.

<u>Air resistance:</u> air resistance is defined as the forces exerted by air that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object. Air resistance will also be applied to the car when it will skid to stop as we are always surrounded by the air.

Hence, the correct answers are "Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance."

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
