A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov

ing south at 3.70 m/s; and mass 7.00 kg, moving north at 2.00 m/s. What is the total momentum of the system? Take north as the positive axis. Enter a positive answer if the total momentum is due north and a negative answer if the total momentum is due south.

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Plz help this is so confusing
Nata [24]

Answer:

5 Km/h

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance travelled = 10 Km

Time = 2 hours

Speed =?

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it can be represented as:

Speed = distance travelled /time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed at which the duck is travelling as follow:

Distance travelled = 10 Km

Time = 2 hours

Speed =?

Speed = distance travelled /time.

Speed = 10 / 2

Speed = 5 Km/h

Thus, the duck is travelling at a speed of 5 Km/h

For which length of wire are the readings of resistance the most precise
levacccp [35]
The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. That is the longer the length of the wire, the higher the resistance and the shorter the length of the wire, the smaller the resistance.

Given the following specific heat capacities, which material was have the largest change in temperature if 10 grams of each subs
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).

That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.

Same with this question.

You should just develop a rule.  The rule will look like this

The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.

The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature

That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.

Answer

lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.

A diverging lens (f1 = -12.0cm) is located 50.0 cm to the left of a converging lens (f2 = 34.0 cm). A 2.0 cm-tall object stands
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The final image relative to the converging lens is 34 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length of diverging lens = -12.0 cm

Focal length of converging lens = 34.0 cm

Height of object = 2.0 cm

Distance of object = 12 cm

Because object at focal point

We need to calculate the image distance of diverging lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-12}-\dfrac{1}{-12}

v=\infty

The rays are parallel to the principle axis after passing from the diverging lens.

We need to calculate the image distance of converging lens

Now, object distance is ∞

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{34}-\dfrac{1}{\infty}

v=34

The image distance is 34 cm right to the converging lens.

Hence, The final image relative to the converging lens is 34 cm.

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a) 4.40 s

b) 2.20 s

Explanation:

Given parameters are:

At constant power  ,

initial speed of the car, v_0=0

final speed of the car, v=32 mph

At full power,

initial speed of the car, v_0=0

final speed of the car, v=64 mph

a)

At constant power, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

At full power, KE = \frac{1}{2} m(2v)^2

So KE_f = 4KE_i

So, time to reach 64 mph speed is 4 times more than the initial time

t = 4*1.10 =4.40 s

b)

v=v_0+at\\a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}=\frac{32-0}{1.1/3600}=104727.27 miles/hours^2

For final 64 mph speed,

v=v_0+at\\t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{64-0}{104727.27} = 6.111*10^{-4} hours = 6.111*10^{-4}*3600=2.20 s
