What will be the change in momentum caused by a net force of 120N acting on an object for 2 seconds?

Physics

The change in  momentum is 240 kgm/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Force, F = 120N

Time, dt = 2 sec

Change in momentum, dP = ?

We know,

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

On substituting the value we get:

120 = \frac{dP}{2}\\ \\dP = 240 kgm/s

Therefore, change in  momentum is 240 kgm/s

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: P = 36.75W

The additional power needed to account for the loss is 36.75W.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the runner m= 60 kg

Height of the centre of gravity h= 0.5m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8m/s

The potential energy of the body for each step is;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.5

PE = 294J

Since the average loss per compression on the leg is 10%.

Energy loss = 10% (P.E)

E = 10% of 294J

E = 29.4J

To calculate the runner's additional power

given that time per stride is = 0.8s

Power P = Energy/time

P = E/t

P = 29.4J/0.8s

P = 36.75W

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

I need help PLEASE HEEEEEEEEELPP
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a = (v2 - v1) / t

From A to B    (8 - 4) m/s / 1 s = 4 m / s^2

From A to D    ( 7 - 4) m/s / 5 s = .6 m / s^2

Note these equations hold for "uniform" values

They say nothing about the acceleration at intermediate points - the equation just says that his average speed increased from 4 m/s to 7 m/s during a 5 sec period
