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).

4. How much time does it take for a student running at a speed of 5 m/s to cover a distance of 2,000 m?
Monica [59]

Answer:

6 Minutes 40 Seconds or 400 Seconds

Explanation:

Time to cover a distance of 5m = 1 Second

Time to cover a distance of 2000m = 2000÷5

= 400 Seconds

After converting 400 Seconds into minutes it will become 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Those who found this helpful please give me a Thanks to support me. So, I can explain other questions more clearly. If you don't want to mark me Brainliest don't mark. But, please give me a Thanks.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T  

Where:

Q  is the thermal energy

m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg is the mass  of the water sample

c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}  is the specific heat capacity of  water

\Delta T=20\°C  is the variation in temperature

Solving:

Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)  

Q=8400 J  This is the thermal energy released
