Answer:

40kgm

Explanation:

∆p = m(v - u)

= 2(60 - 40)

= 2 × 20

= 40kgm/s

anygoal [31]

The International System Units or the SI units is scientific method of expressing the magnitudes or quantities of important natural phenomena. There are seven base units in the system, from which other units are derived. This system was formerly called the meter-kilogram-second (MKS) system.

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the

tatuchka [14]

The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
$W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N$
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
$F=12 N$
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
$T \cos \alpha -F=0$
$T \sin \alpha -W=$
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
$\tan \alpha = \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04$
From which we find
$\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}$
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
$T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N$

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it

Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring. This does not work. You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

How many watts are used when 6000 joules of energy are consumed in 5 hours?

Ray Of Light [21]

Power = energy / time
Time should be in seconds
5 hours = 5 × 60 minutes = 5 × 60 ×60 seconds = 18000 s
Power = 6000/18000 = 0.333 W

Hope it helped!
