The Pony Express was a mail delivery system in the Old West that used a series of men on horseback to deliver mail from St. Jose

ph, MO to Sacramento, CA along a trail that was 2000 miles long. True or false: If each rider traveled 100 miles, got a fresh horse every 10 miles, and maintained an average speed of 10 mi/hr, it took 150 horses for each delivery.A. TrueB. False

Answer:

the given statement is False

Explanation:

given,                                                          

distance of the trail = 2000 miles long          

each rider traveled = 100 miles                        

every fresh horse travel = 10 miles                    

to maintain speed of = 10 mile/hr                      

the given statement is                                            

150 horses is used for each delivery.                    

if each horse is allowed to travel 10 miles to travel

distance traveled using 150 horses = 150 x 10

                                                            = 1500 miles

to travel 2000 miles horse required is equal to 200.

so, the given statement is False

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k
Veronika [31]

Answer:

14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

45.26^{\circ}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

P_i = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

P_2 = Momentum of the ball after hit

55^{\circ} = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

\theta = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}

Momentum in the y direction

P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}

(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

The pin's resultant velocity is 14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}

The pin's resultant direction is 45.26^{\circ} below the horizontal or to the right.

An object of mass 0.400.40 kg, hanging from a spring with a spring constant of 8.08.0 N/m, is set into an up-and-down simple har
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Acceleration will be equal to 2m/sec^2      

Explanation:

We have given mass of the object m = 0.4 kg

Spring constant k = 8 N/m

Maximum displacement of the spring is given x = 0.1 m

From newton's law force is equal to F=ma.....eqn 1

By hook's law spring force is equal to F=kx .....eqn 2

From equation 1 and equation 2

ma=kx

0.4\times a=8\times 0.1

a=2m/sec^2

So acceleration will be equal to 2m/sec^2
