Geology belongs to the category of Natural Sciences. Natural sciences is the study of natural phenomena. Among the natural sciences, we have physical science, which is the study of non-living systems. Further along this branch, we have earth sciences where Geology belongs.
Dependent on what you are measuring and what took you are using. Please be more specific.
Answer:
p = 4000 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg
Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s
We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :
p = mv
so,
So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.
Answer:
The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down
On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis
Y axis
N- W = 0
N = W = mg
X axis
-Fr = m a
-μ N = m a
-μ mg = ma
a = μ g
a = - 0.32 9.8
a = - 3.14 m/s²
We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations
Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x
x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a
When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)
Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s
x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)
x= 35.8 m
The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m
