The non-relativistic formula for low speed v < 0.1c is:

K.E = 0.5mv^2 = 0.5 * 235 * (7)^2 = 5757.5 J

The momentum of a falling rock is found to be 200 kg m/s. What is the mass of the rock if it falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}$

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

$p=m*v$

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s$

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}$

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=m$

The units of meters per second (m/s) cancel.

$\frac{200 \ kg}{5.0 } =m$

$40 \ kg = m$

The falling rock has a mass of <u>40 kilograms.</u>

A water wheel rotates with a period of 2.26 s. If the water wheel has a radius of l.94 m,

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.

The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as

$V_{r}$ = 2π r / T
