Answer:

240 Ns

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and its velocity:

$p=mv$

where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.

According to Newton's second Law of motion, the change in momentum of an object is related to the force applied by it by the equation:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force exerted on the object

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t$ is the time elapsed

In this problem:

F = 120 N is the force exerted on the object

$\Delta t=2 s$ is the time elapsed

Therefore, the change in momentum of the object is:

$\Delta p=F\Delta t=(120)(2)=240 Ns$

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m( $\frac{v_{2} - v_{1} }{t}$ )

⇒ Ft = m( $v_{2}$ - $v_{1}$ )

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, $v_{1}$ is its initialvelocity and $v_{2}$ is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m( $v_{2}$ - $v_{1}$ )

From the question, m = 3kg, $v_{1}$ = 0m/s and $v_{2}$ = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

= 3(20)

= 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

A large crane consists of a 20 m, 3,000 kg arm that extends horizontally on top of a vertical tower. The arm extends 15 m toward

Anni [7]

Answer:

$m=18000kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Crane Length $l=20m$

Crane Mass $m_a=3000kg$

Arm extension at lifting end $l_l=15m$

Arm extension at counter weight end $l_c=5m$

Load $M_l=5000kg$

Generally the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$T_1 *l_c-(m_a*g) *l_c-(T_2)*l_l=0$

$mg*5 *-(3000*9.8) *5-(5000*9.8)*15=0$

$m=18000kg$

Sharp claws in wild animals is an example of which type of adaptation?

Sati [7]

Answer:

Structural adaptation

Explanation:

When any physical body part of an organism helps it in surviving, then this mechanism of survival is called a structural adaptation. For example short tail of penguins helps them in balancing on their heels and tails due to which they are able to reduce heat released from their feet. Thus, any physical parts of an organism that helps them in coping with the surrounding physical environment /predators are refereed to as a mode of structural adaptation.

The temperature -273°C is —.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

-273°C = Absolute zero

Explanation:

Average Kinetic energy of particles in matter refers to the temperature of matter. This value is not arbitrary zero temperature. It explains the lowest kinetic energy of the particles in matter.

A constant net torque is applied to a rotating object. Which of the following best describes the object's motion? A constant net

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The object will rotate with constant angular acceleration

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Second Law for Whenever there is more than one torque acting on a rigid body that posses fixed axis, the moment of inertia as well as the angular acceleration is equals or proportional to the summation of the torques. It gives details on the relationship between rotational kinematics and torque as well as moment of inertia. This can be represented by the below equation.

∑iτi=Iα.

.Therefore when constant net torque is applied to object that is rotating, the object will rotate with constant angular acceleration
