What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply.

Neporo4naja [7]

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

F is the force

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

Since the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the time is measured in seconds (s), the units for the impulse are

$[I] = [N][s]$

So,

N • s

Impulse is also defined as the change in momentum experienced by an object:

$I=\Delta p$

where the change in momentum is given by

$\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where m is the mass and $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while the change in velocity is measured in metres per second (m/s), therefore the units for impulse are

$[I]=[kg][m/s]$

so,

kg • meters per second

A bullet is fired into the air at an angle of 45°. How far does it travel before it is 1,000 feet above the ground? (Assume that

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

It travels 1414 feets.

Explanation:

Let's take the length the bullet travels l as the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the height it reaches one of its sides. Since we got the angle α at which it was fired and the height h it reached, we can calculate l using the sin(α) function:

$sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}\\sin(\alpha)=\frac{h}{l}\\l=\frac{h}{sin(\alpha)}$

Replacing:

$l=\frac{1000ft}{sin(\frac{\pi}{4})}$

Solving and roundin to the nearest foot:

$l=1414 ft$

If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e

Alex777 [14]

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge $+e$

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge $-e$

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.
