Answer:

distance in east is 1273.78 m

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 1.32 m/s west =

hike = 5.21 km = 5.21 × 10³ m

average velocity = 3.49 m/s west

average velocity = 0.687 m/s east

to find out

distance in east

solution

we consider here distance in east  is = x

so distance from starting point = 5.21 × 10³ - x        ...................1

and we can say time required to reach end

time required = distance / speed

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32}    ................2

and

time required for 6.44 km west

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}    ................3

and time required for distance x

time required = \frac{x}{0.687}    ................4

so from equation 2 , 3 and 4

\frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32} = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}  + \frac{x}{0.687}

x = 1273.78 m

so distance in east is 1273.78 m

A rock hits a window and stops in 0.15 seconds. The net force on the rock is 58N during the collision. What is the magnitude of
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The change in momentum is  \Delta p =   0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The time taken for the stone to stop is \Delta  t = 0.15 \ seconds

    The net force on the rock is  F =  58 \ N

   

The impulse of the rock can be mathematically represented as

     I  =  F * \Delta t

Substituting values

     I  =  58 * 0.15

    I  =  0.7\  kg * m  * s^{-1}

Now impulse is defined as  the rate at which momentum change

   Hence the change in momentum \Delta p  of the rock is equal to the impulse of the rock

 So  

       \Delta p =  I  =  0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}

How is pressure measured? question 1 options: pressure is measured as force per inch. pressure is measured as force per gram. pr
natita [175]

Pressure is measured as force per unit area, which is the third option.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure is amount of force that is applied over a given area divided by the size of this area.

Pressure is calculated by multiplying the force applied on the object by the area covered.

Since force is measured in Newtons (N) and area is measured in m², the unit of pressure is Nm².

Therefore, pressure is measured as force per unit area.
