A 5 kg object slows from +6 m/s to +2 m/s. What is the impulse?

Physics

Liula [17]3 years ago

Impulse on the object: -20 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is a vector quantity equal to the product between the force exerted on the object and the time interval during which the force is applied.

The impulse exerted on an object is also equal to its change in momentum. Mathematically,

I=\Delta p = m(v-u)

where:

m is the mass of the object

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 5 kg

u = +6 m/s

v = +2 m/s

Therefore, its impulse is:

I=(5)(+2-(+6))=-20 kg m/s

The negative sign means the direction of the impulse is opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 4.49 × 10^-3 m^2 and is kept under a tension of 2.96 × 10^4 N. The density of steel is
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

Explanation:

let T = 2.96×10^4 N be the tension in in the steel cable, ρ  = 7860 kg/m^3 is the density of the steel and A = 4.49×10^-3 m^2 be the cross-sectional area of the cable.

then, if V is the volume of the cable:

ρ = m/V

m = ρ×V

but V = A×L , where L is the length of the cable.

m = ρ×(A×L)

m/L = ρ×A

then the speed of the wave in the cable is given by:

v = √(T×L/m)

  = √(T/A×ρ)

  = √[2.96×10^4/(4.49×10^-3×7860)]

  = 25.5 m/s

Therefore, the transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.
