Answer:

9.2 N, with significant figure rounding (2 s.f.)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using momentum. The following equation relates momentum (mass & velocity) with force and time:

Note that where v is the final velocity and v₀ is the initial velocity. Δv just means change in velocity.

Mass of the egg is 150 g, but we need to convert to kilograms if we want to use Newtons as a unit. 150 g is equal to 0.15 kg. since 1000 g = 1kg.

m = 0.15 kg

The dropped from 3.0 meters is irrelevant as the question tells us the initial velocity of the egg: 4.4 m/s before it hits the ground.

v₀ = 4.4 m/s [down]

When it comes to a stop, the egg will have a velocity of 0.

v = 0 m/s

The time it takes for the egg to stop is 0.072 seconds.

Δt = 0.072 s

Therefore, if down is positive, then

We round to two significant figures since every quantity has two sig. figs.

We only care about the magnitude, not direction. The answer is 9.2 N.

Which has greater kinetic energy, a car traveling at 40 mph or a half-as-massive car traveling at 80 mph?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The 80 mph car

Because the formula says 1/2 mass but for the velocity it is squared

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/

Anastasy [175]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

$KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0$

$\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2$

So by solving above equation we will have

$v_f = 84.3 m/s$

now in order to find the momentum we can use

$P = mv$

$P = 1.25 \times 84.3$

$P = 105.4 kg m/s$

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-

Bad White [126]

Answer:

v = 381 m/s

Explanation:

Linear Speed

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

$\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}$

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

$\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad$

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

$\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s$

Thus the time is:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}$

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}$

v = 381 m/s
