Answer:

Assumption: the air resistance on this ball is negligible. Take g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

a. The momentum of the ball would be approximately 60\;\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} two seconds after it is tossed into the air.

b. The momentum of the ball would be approximately \rm \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right) three seconds after it reaches the highest point (assuming that it didn't hit the ground.) This momentum is smaller than zero because it points downwards.

Explanation:

The momentum p of an object is equal its mass m times its velocity v. That is: \vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}.

Assume that the air resistance on this ball is negligible. If that's the case, then the ball would accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. In other words, its velocity would become approximately 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} more negative every second.

The initial velocity of the ball is 60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. After two seconds, its velocity would have become 60\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times \left(-10\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right) = 40\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. The momentum of the ball at that time would be around p = m \cdot v \approx 60\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}.

When the ball is at the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball would be zero. However, the ball would continue to accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. That's how the ball's velocity becomes negative.

After three more seconds, the velocity of the ball would be 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 3\; \rm s \times \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right) = -30 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. Accordingly, the ball's momentum at that moment would be p = m \cdot v \approx \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right).

An airplane accelerates from a velocity of 22 m/s to 40 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. How long does it
andrey2020 [161]

The time it takes the plane to change its velocity is 9s.

<h3>What is time?</h3>

Time can be defined the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues.

To calculate the time it takes the airplane to change its velocity, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • t = (v-u)/a.......... Equation 1

Where:

  • a = Acceleration
  • v = Final velocity
  • u = Initial velocity
  • t = time

From the question,

  • v = 40 m/s
  • u = 22 m/s
  • a = 2 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation  1

  • t = (40-22)/2
  • t = 18/2
  • t = 9s

Hence, the time it takes the plane to change its velocity is 9s.

4. A substance has a density of 0.79 g/cm'. It is soluble in water. List all the possibilities of what it might be How could you
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given that the density of the unknown substance is 0.79 g/cm3 and is soluble in water, the possible substances it could be are;

i) t-butanol

ii) ethanol

iii) 2-propanol

iv) acetone

However, the actual identity of the unknown substance can be obtained by carrying out a boiling point test. The four substances listed above have different boiling points. Hence the boiling point of the unknown substance ultimately discloses its identity.

In the Copper Plating Solution lab, you placed copper (Cu) pennies in vinegar. Vinegar is a weak acid with hydrogen ions (H+). W
PolarNik [594]
Bubbles came off from the copper pennies are hydrogen gas. There many free hydrogen ions in an acid like vinegar. And because of the chemical reaction between the copper and the vinegar, many hydrogen ions joined together to form hydrogen gas.

O How are electricity and magnetism related?
Nataly [62]
Magnetism is the product of a moving charged particle. We can have electricity without magnetism but we can not have magnetism without electricity.An electro magnet is made so that we have a soft metal core and electricity around it. A bar magnet is a normal magnet in bar shape with permanent magnetism.
