If a boy (m = 25 kg) at rest on skates is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 500 N on him and if the first boy's final

velocity is 20 m/s, what was the contact time?

Answer:

1 second

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the boy is equal to its change of momentum:

I = \Delta p\\F \Delta t = m \Delta v

where

F = 500 N is the push on the boy

\Delta t is the contact time

m = 25 kg is the mass of the boy

\Delta v = 20 m/s is the change in velocity of the boy

Solving the formula for the contact time, we find

\Delta t=\frac{m\Delta v}{F}=\frac{(25 kg)(20 m/s)}{500 N}=1 s

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that
iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The first option,  the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start and the end points.

Why?

Since each block is 180 m long, we need to calculate the vertical and the horizontal distance, in order to calculate how farther did the travel walk between the start and the end points (displacement).

So, calculating we have:

Traveler:

Distance=NorthCoveredDistance+EastCoveredDistance

Distance=4*180m+3*180m=720m+540m=1260m

Actual distance between the start and the end point (displacement):

ActualDistance=\sqrt{NorthDistance+EastDistance}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{NorthDistance^{2} +EastDistance^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{(720m)^{2} +(540m)^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{518400m^{2} +291600m^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{810000m^{2}}=900m

Now, to calculate how much farter did the traveler walk, we need to use the following equation:

DistanceDifference=WalkerCoveredDistance-ActualDistance\\\\DistanceDifference=1260m-900m=360m

Therefore, we have that distance differnce between the distance covered by the walker and the actual distance is 360m.

Hence, we have that the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start point and the end point.

Have a nice day!
