Answer:

v = 800 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 2400 m

Time, t = 3 s

We need to find the velocity of a rocket. Distance covered per unit time equals velocity. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{2400\ m}{3\ s}\\\\v=800\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the truck is 800 m/s.

James has a mass of 98 kg and Basma has a mass of 59 kg. James is running at 3.0 m/s, while Basma is running at 4.0 m/s.

masha68 [24]

(a) James has the most momentum which is 294 kgm/s.

(b) The resultant force acting on Basma is 90.78 N.

<h3>Momentum of each person</h3>

Momentum of James: P = mv = 98 x 3 = 294 kgm/s

Momentum of Basma: P = mv = 59 x 4 = 236 kgm/s

<h3>Resultant force of Basma</h3>

F = ma = mv/t = P/t = 236/2.6 = 90.78 N

<h3>Time for James to stop</h3>

F = P/t

t = P/F

t = 294/90.78

t = 3.2 s

What is an example of a non contact force

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Gravitational force

Explanation:

A non contact force can be described as a force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it.

For example, an object thrown upwards will return back due to the force of gravity acting on it. So, it means Gravitational force is acting on the body without necessarily being in contact with that body.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance $d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m$

Speed of the comet $V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s$

At distance $d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m$

where;

mass of the sun = $1.98 \times 10^{30}$

$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}$

To find the speed $V_f$ :

Using the formula:

$E_f = E_i + W \\ \\ where; \ \ W = 0 \ \ \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}$

$E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\ K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 + \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [ \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}$

$V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [ \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}$

$\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}$

A proton initially moves left to right along the x-axis at a speed of 2.00 x 103 m/s. It moves into an uniform electric field, w

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the proton than the electric field, as this is uniform, we can calculate the acceleration of the proton, with the following kinematic equation:

$vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x$

As the proton is coming at rest after travelling 0.200 m to the right, vf = 0, and x = 0.200 m.

Replacing this values in the equation above, we can solve for a, as follows:

$a = \frac{vo^{2}*mp}{2*x} = \frac{(2.00e3m/s)^{2}}{2*0.2m} = 1e7 m/s2$

According to Newton´s 2nd Law, and applying the definition of an electric field, we can say the following:

F = mp*a = q*E

For a proton, we have the following values:

mp = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg

q = e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C

So, we can solve for E (in magnitude) , as follows:

$E = \frac{mp*a}{e} =\frac{1.67e-27kg*1e7m/s2}{1.6e-19C} = 1.04e-1 N/C$

⇒ E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

A 81 kg person sits on a 3.8 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.2 cm in diameter

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.9 MPa

Explanation:

Mass of person = 81 kg

Mass of chair = 3.8 kg

Diameter of contact point = 1.2 cm = D

Radius of contact point = 1.2/2 = 0.6 cm

Total mass of chair and person = 81 + 3.8 = 84.8 kg = M

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force acting on the floor

Area of the contact point

Area of the four points is

Pressure

$p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow p=\frac{831.888}{0.000144\pi}\\\Rightarrow p=1838876.21\ Pa=1.83887621\times 10^6\ Pa=1.9 MPa$

Pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair is 1.9 MPa
