Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

$v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s$

Why is it important to know how fast a roller coaster travels at certain points on the track?

jolli1 [7]

It's important because you have to know when to make it go faster or else you might not be able to go upside down or in a circle

m =dm ______ 10.000

Meters

The metre is a unit of length in the metric system, and is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

As the base unit of length in the SI and other m.k.s. systems (based around metres, kilograms and seconds) the metres is used to help derive other units of measurement such as the newton, for force.

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.1 m, is sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflect

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

A_resulting = 0.2 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze the impact of the pulse with the pole, this is a fixed obstacle that does not move therefore by the law of action and reluctant, the force that the pole applies on the rope is of equal magnitude to the force of the rope on the pole (pulse), but opposite directional, so the reflected pulse reverses its direction and sense.

With this information we analyze a point on the string where the incident pulse is and each reflected with an amplitude A = 0.1 m, the resulting is

A_res = 2A

A_resultant = 2 .01

A_resulting = 0.2 m

If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock com

Lelu [443]

Answer:

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Explanation:

This is the complete question

A person will feel a shock when a current of greater than approximately 100μ A flows between his index finger and thumb. If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock compare in each scenario?

A) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times smaller than the voltage on wet skin.

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

C) The voltage on dry skin is the same as the voltage on wet skin.

D) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 40,000 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Ohm's law states that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

the equation is written as

V = IR

Where V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

for this case, the current I is 100μ A = 100 x 10^16 A

resistance of wet skin = R

resistance of dry skin = 200R

for the wet skin, voltage will be

V = IR = $100*10^{-6} R$

for dry skin, voltage will be

V = IR = $100*10^{-6}*200R = 0.02R$

Comparing both voltages

$0.02R$ ÷ $100*10^{-6} R$ = 200

this means that the voltage on the wet skin should be 200 times lesser than the voltage on the dry skin or the voltage on the dry skin should be 200 times more than the voltage on the wet skin.
