Answer:

A) 50 kg m/s

B) 2 kg m/s

C) 100 kg m/s

Explanation:

Recall that momentum is a physical quantity defined by the product of the object's mass times its velocity. Therefore, in our case the truck's momentum (p) is:

A) p = m * v = 10 kg * 5 m/s = 50 kg m/s

B) p = m * v = 10 kg * 0.20 m/s = 2 kg m/s (notice that the velocity in cm/s was converted into m/s before multiplying)

C) the conversion from km/h to m/s is a little more involved, so we taclke it first:

since 1 km = 1000 m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds, we convert 36 km/h by replacing each unit by its m and s expression as shown below:

$36 \frac{km}{h} =36\,\frac{1000\,m}{3600\,\,s}=10\,\frac{m}{s}$

Then, the momentum is: p = m * v = 10 kg * 10 m/s = 100 kg m/s

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a) $\Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J$ , b) $\Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J$ , c) $k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}$

Explanation:

a) The change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system is:

$\Delta U_{g} = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (22\,m)$

$\Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J$

b) The change in the elastic potential energy of the spring is equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy, then:

$\Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J$

c) The spring constant of the gun is:

$\Delta U_{k} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot x^{2}$

$k = \frac{2\cdot \Delta U_{k}}{x^{2}}$

$k = \frac{2\cdot (12.945\,J)}{(0.094\,m)^{2}}$

$k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}$
