Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity with which it is moving. It can be given by :

p=mv

Mass is a scalar quantity and velocity of an object is a vector quantity. As a result, the momentum of an object is vector quantity.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "It is a vector quantity because it involves magnitude and direction."

A 392 N wheel comes off a moving truck and rolls without slipping along a highway. At the bottom of a hill it is rotating at 24

alex41 [277]

Answer:

h=12.41m

Explanation:

N=392

r=0.6m

w=24 rad/s

$I=0.8*m*r^{2}$

So the weight of the wheel is the force N divide on the gravity and also can find momentum of inertia to determine the kinetic energy at motion

$N=m*g\\m=\frac{N}{g}\\m=\frac{392N}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$

$m=40kg$

moment of inertia

$M_{I}=0.8*40.0kg*(0.6m} )^{2}\\M_{I}=11.5 kg*m^{2}$

Kinetic energy of the rotation motion

$K_{r}=\frac{1}{2}*I*W^{2}\\K_{r}=\frac{1}{2}*11.52kg*m^{2}*(24\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\\K_{r}=3317.76J$

Kinetic energy translational

$K_{t}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\v=w*r\\v=24rad/s*0.6m=14.4 \frac{m}{s}\\K_{t}=\frac{1}{2}*40kg*(14.4\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\K_{t}=4147.2J$

Total kinetic energy

$K=3317.79J+4147.2J\\K=7464.99J$

Now the work done by the friction is acting at the motion so the kinetic energy and the work of motion give the potential work so there we can find height

$K-W=E_{p}\\7464.99-2600J=m*g*h\\4864.99J=m*g*h\\h=\frac{4864.99J}{m*g}\\h=\frac{4864.99J}{392N}\\h=12.41m$

What best describes the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave? The medium does not move. The medium moves in all

Citrus2011 [14]

In the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave, the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave.

<h3>What is a longitudinal wave?</h3>

A longitudinal wave is a wave that is transversing along the length. When the displacement of medium and travel of wave is the same in that condition wave is known as the longitudinal wave.

It requires some medium to travel. A mechanical and sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave.

Hence in the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave, the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave.

To learn more about the longitudinal wave refer to the link;

Assume the equation x 5 At3 1 Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having

igomit [66]

Answer:

(a) A = m/s^3, B = m/s.

(b) dx/dt = m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

$x = At^3 + Bt\\m = As^3 + Bs\\m = (\frac{m}{s^3})s^3 + (\frac{m}{s})s$

Therefore, the dimension of A is m/s^3, and of B is m/s in order to satisfy the above equation.

(b) $\frac{dx}{dt} = 3At^2 + B = 3(\frac{m}{s^3})s^2 + \frac{m}{s} = m/s$

This makes sense, because the position function has a unit of 'm'. The derivative of the position function is velocity, and its unit is m/s.

Airida [17]

Answer:

$\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

$P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}$

Threshold intensity = $I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

Ratio

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68
