Answer:

0 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum is the product of mass(m) and velocity(v).

Initially the velocity of truck is 0 m/s so the product of mass and velocity becomes 0.

It does not matter what is the weight of truck, because the velocity will make the product of m*v = 0

It does not matter what is the momentum of car.

Answer:

true

Explanation:

this is because potienal energy is energy that is stored, and kinetic is energy being used, as kinetic is used, potential is also being used.

Work output of a large machine in a factory is 89,000 joules, and it’s input is 102,000 joules. Work output of a similar machine

mojhsa [17]

(89000/102000)×100
=87.25%

(92000/104000)×100
=88.46%

efficiency is (output/input)×100
if u get confused which way input and output should go, remember the smaller value is always output and it's above in the fraction, then only it's possible to get a efficiency lower than 100.

Fig. 2.1 shows a train

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$\mathrm{(a)\:}32,000,000\:\mathrm{Ns},\\\mathrm{(b)\:}390,000\:\mathrm{N}$

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem states the impulse on an object is equal to the change in momentum of that object. Momentum is given by $p=mv$ . Since mass is constant, the train's change in momentum is:

$\Delta p=m\Delta v=750,000\cdot42=31,500,000=\fbox{$32,000,000\:\mathrm{Ns}$}$ (two significant figures).

Impulse is also given as $\Delta p = F\Delta t$ , where $F$ is the average force applied and $\Delta t$ is change in time. Since $t$ is given as $80\mathrm{s}$ , we have the following equation:
