p=mv where p is momentum in kgms-1, m is mass/kg and v is velocity/ms-1

Therefore to find the change in momentum we can just substitute the numbers in and find the difference.

At 5ms-1 the runner has a momentum of 5*40=200kgm/s
At 11ms-1 the runner has a momentum of 11*40=440kgm/s

Finding the difference, the change of momentum is 240kgm/s

Have you ever visited an amusement park and taken a ride on a parachute drop ride? These types of rides take the passengers to a
Triss [41]

Answer & Explanation:

a)

Lenz's law states that the direction of induced electric current is always such that, it opposes the change in magnetic flux.

In a drop ride, the hub on which we sit and are hung to is an electromagnet and there are many such magnets mounted on the columns of the support. what happens is these electromagnets (in support) generate a repulsive magnetic field with respect to the field generated by the hub solenoids. this results in lift generation till the top of ride. reaching the top, the bar solenoids are at their maximum repulsive force. Then the solenoids in column are set current less means electric supply is cut off. this makes you fall under the effect of gravity. by the time you are half way down, column  solenoids are turned on again. As the hub solenoid approaches every single electromagnet in supporting columns. Due to change in magnetic field (with respect to lenz's law) an opposing current induces further providing resistance to the fall, this continues until the ride comes to rest completely. This is how it works.  

c) In addition, highly compressive springs, dampers, viscous dampers, etc. could be used in its place.

but the above listed cannot provide a differential braking,

1. Your new designer chair has an S-shaped tubular metal frame that behaves just like a spring. When your friend, who weighs 600
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

A circuit with which components has a current with the greatest voltage?
Ymorist [56]
The components in a circuit don't determine the voltages in it.
The voltages are all determined by the battery or power supply
that energizes the circuit.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

the time taken t is 9.25 minutes

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The initial charge on the supercapacitor = 2.1 × 10³ mV = 2.1 V

now, every minute, the charge lost is 9.9 %  

so we need to find the time for which the charge drops below 800 mV or 0.8 V

to get the time, we can use the formula for compound interest in basic mathematics;

A = P × ( (1 - r/100 )ⁿ

where A IS 0.8, P is 2.1, r is 9.9

so we substitute

0.8 = 2.1 × ( 1 - 0.099 )ⁿ

0.8/2.1 = 0.901ⁿ

0.901ⁿ = 0.381

n = 9.25 minutes

Therefore, the time taken t is 9.25 minutes
