What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60×109kg·m/s, when the ship is moving at a speed of 48.0 km/h? (b) Com

pare the ship’s momentum to the momentum of a 1100-kg artillery shell fired at a speed of 1200 m/s.

a) The mass of the ship is $1.2\cdot 10^8 kg$

b) The ship has a larger momentum than the shell

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is given by:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the ship in this problem, we have

$p=1.60\cdot 10^9 kg m/s$ is the momentum

$v=48.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=13.3 m/s$ is the velocity

Solving for m, we find the mass of the ship:

$m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{1.60\cdot 10^9}{13.3}=1.2\cdot 10^8 kg$

b)

The momentum of the artillery shell is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is its mass

v is its velocity

For the shell in this problem,

m = 1100 kg

v = 1200 m/s

Substituting,

$p=(1100)(1200)=1.32\cdot 10^6 kg m/s$

So, we see that the ship has a larger momentum.

A large plate carries a uniform charge density σ = 8. 85 × 10-9 c/m2. a pattern showing equipotential surfaces with a 5 v potent

vfiekz [6]

The potential difference comes out to be

$10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m$

Given:

σ = 8. 85 × 10-9 c/m2

we know,

$E = \frac{σ}{2ε0}$

$E = \frac{8.85 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }{2ε0}$

$E = \frac{v}{d}$

given the potential difference between two equipotential surface=5v

E=∆v

∆d=∆v/E

$= \frac{5 \times 8.85 \times 10 { }^{ - 12} \times 2 }{8.85 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$Δ = 10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m$

Thus the potential difference is

$10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m$

The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 2.50 kg m2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is required to bring it

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The moment of inertia is $I = 2.50 \ kg \cdot m^2$

The final angular speed is $w_f = 400 rev/min = \frac{400 * 2\pi}{60} = 41.89 \ rad/s$

The time taken is $t = 8.0 s$

The initial angular speed is $w_i = 0\ rad/s$

Generally the average angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{w_f - w_i }{t}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{41.89}{8}$

=> $\alpha = 5.24 \ rad/s^2$

Generally the torque is mathematically represented as

$\tau = I * \alpha$

=> $\tau = 5.24 * 2.50$

=> $\tau = 13.09 \ N \cdot m$
