When you are traveling in your car at highway speed, the momentum of a bug is suddenly changed as it splatters into your windshi

eld. Compared with the change in momentum of the bug, by how much does the momentum of your car change

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of the momentum The car-bug system moment will  remain the same before and after the collision.  And since the mass of the car is much higher than the bug, the change in velocity of the car will be negligible as compared to the change in velocity of the bug and hence the change in momentum of the bug will be very large and change in momentum of the car will be negligible.

A glider of mass 5.0 kg hits the end of a horizontal rail and bounces off with the same speed, in the opposite direction. The co
NeTakaya

To solve the exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts given in Newton's second law and the equations of motion description.

Let's start by defining acceleration based on speed and time, that is

a = \frac{v}{t}

On the other hand according to Newton's second law we have to

F=ma

where

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

Replacing the value of acceleration in this equation we have

F=m(\frac{v}{t})

Substituting with our values we have

100N=(5Kg)\frac{v}{0.2}

Re-arrange to find v

v=\frac{100*0.2}{5}

v = 2m/s

Therefore the speed of the glider is 2m/s

An elevator is being pulled up from the ground floor to the third floor by a cable. The cable is exerting 4500 newtons of force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the elevator = 4500N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The force applied by the elevator, F  = 4500 N

The acceleration of the elevator = Not accelerating

From Newton's third law of motion, the action of the cable force is equal to the reaction of the gravitational force on the elevator which is the weight, W and motion of the elevator as follows;

F = W + Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator

∴ F = W + Mass of elevator × 0 = W

F = 4500 N = W

The net force on the elevator is F - W = 0

The gravitational force on the elevator = W = 4500N.

The importancê òf measurement​
dem82 [27]

Measurements in physics is important because it enables people to argue using mathematics where numbers can be used to represent knowledge in a convenient manner when we show and communicate about a phenomenon.

Explanation:

When a physician is able to measure a phenomenon, then we get a foundation of understanding a lot of things in our universe.Measuring these things will help know how to use them in various applications.

What is the most effective way to prevent beach erosion?
sergiy2304 [10]
The most effective way to prevent beach erosion is to replant mangrove trees, seaweeds and seagrass. The strategic planting of vegetation can be used to help control erosion. The roots of these plants help to anchor the sand and ensure that it is not carried off in erosion. This is why many areas plant seagrass and build marshes along coasts to prevent erosion.
