Answer:
The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.
Explanation:
Mass m = 1000 kg
speed v₁ = 20 m/s
speed v₂ = 0 m/s
We know that,
The change in momentum
ΔP = m (Δv)
ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)
= 1000 (0 - 20)
= 1000 (-20)
= -20000 kg m/s
Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.
Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.
Answer:
Explanation:
Passion
For me, standing on the summit of Mt Everest was the result of following a process. The process of mountaineering. I love mountaineering. I am passionate about it. I love the months of planning for an expedition, the months of sweating and training to prepare my body physically. The meticulous preparation of my equipment. Most of all I love the huge mental challenge I have to overcome before each climb to confront my own fear. All these reasons are why I climb, they are why I climbed Mt Everest and that is why I continue to climb.
Passion is an enormously powerful force. It gives us the strength to get through hard times and setbacks. It gives us strength to overcome our fears, to ignore what other people think of us, to be disciplined and make sacrifices in pursuit of our dreams. Passionate people do not want to take shortcuts – they consider that ‘learning the process’ is an important part of the journey.
In mountaineering it’s easy to spot those who are not passionate about the process. They want to stand on top of the mountain but they are not really interested in the process of climbing the mountain. I feel for these people. Success without hard work is a hollow, empty feeling. They never last long in the sport.
Just as in life, successful mountaineers are the ones who are passionate. They are not there just to stand on the summit. Their passion gives them the energy to work the hardest, fight the longest, and in the words of Winston Churchill “never, never. never give-up”.
Answer: a) the force will be repulsive
b) the ratio of the new force to the old force will be 2
c) O
Explanation:
a) since charge -Q is moved from A to B, this implies that sphere A is negatively charged. The two spheres are now negatively charged and will repel themselves.
b) initial force will be -q(-Q)/d2
Adding extra charge -Q will cause change on B to become -2Q
The new force will be - 2Q(-q)/d2
Dividing new force by old force will give 2
C) if B is neutralized, the net charge becomes 0 and there will be no force on it.
Answer:
The horizontal component of her velocity is approximately 1.389 m/s
The vertical component of her velocity is approximately 7.878 m/s
Explanation:
The given question parameters are;
The initial velocity with which Margaret leaps, v = 8.0 m/s
The angle to the horizontal with which she jumps, θ = 80° to the horizontal
The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ = v × cos(θ)
∴ vₓ = 8.0 × cos(80°) ≈ 1.389
The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ ≈ 1.389 m/s
The vertical component of her velocity, 
= v × sin(θ)
∴ = 8.0 × sin(80°) ≈ 7.878
The vertical component of her velocity, ≈ 7.878 m/s.
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.
