Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

v(t)=v_0 -gt

where

v_0=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

The train would need the greatest amount of force due to weight! If you think of it, a baseball won't need much force to stop it, but if you have a heavy train, it will need excessive force to stop the train. The answer would be #3


I hope this answer helps!

Sorry if it doesn't make sense, as I don't know that much about physics! I am just thinking of what makes sense.

Hannah walks 0.30 km to class in 5.0 min. what is her average speed in m/s?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1.0 m/s

Explanation:

First, convert to SI units.

0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m

5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s

Speed is distance divided by time:

300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s

How much heat is needed to change 1.25 kg of steak at 100°C to water at 100°C?
cricket20 [7]

The heat required to change 1.25 kg of steak is 2825 kJ /kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given, mass m = 1.25 kg,     Temperature t = 100 degree celsius

To calculate the heat required,

                                 Q = m \times L

where m represents the mass in kg,

          L represents the heat of vaporization.

When a material in the liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor and the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of the vaporization. The heat of vaporization of the water is about 2260 kJ/kg.

                                  Q = 1.25 \times 2260

                                  Q = 2825 kJ /kg.

The USDA recommends that women consume about 2000 Calories per day and men consume about 2500 Calories per day. How much average
professor190 [17]

Answer:

   1500 W to 2200 W

Explanation:

Every person does work in his daily day to day life. A person needs energy in order to perform work. And the energy consumed by an individual while performing a daily work is directly responsible to the mount of oxygen consumed by the person.

The USDA is the federal agency which looks after the food and agriculture matters of the US government. It deals with and formulates different policies and laws for the country and it s people. It recommends about 2000 calories per day for women and for men it recommends about 2500 calorie per days of food intake.

Accordingly, the average power required by a human body for doing regular work is in the range of 1500 W to 2200 W.
