Answer:

Momentum is conserved.

Explanation:

-Momentum is conserved.

-By Newton's third law (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.)-the change in momentum of gases in one direction must be balanced by an equal change in momentum of the spacecraft in the opposite direction.

A 23.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2920 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?
yanalaym [24]
The first thing you should know for this case is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume:
 D = M / V
 In addition, you should keep in mind the following conversion:
 1Kg = 1000g
 Substituting the values we have:
 D = (23.0 * 1000) / (2920) = 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
 answer
 the density of the iron plate is 7.88 g / cm ^ 3

Student 1 lifts a box with a force of 500 N and sets it on a tabletop 1.2 m high. Student 2 pushes an identical box up a 5 m ram
Troyanec [42]

The student who did the most work is student 2 with 2500 Joules.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Force 1 = 500 Newton
  • Distance 1 = 1.2 meter
  • Force 2 = 500 Newton
  • Distance 2 = 5 meter

To determine which of the students did the most work:

Mathematically, the work done by an object is given by the formula;

Work\;done = Force \times distance

<u>For </u><u>student 1</u><u>:</u>

Work\;done = 500 \times 1.2

Work done = 600 Joules

<u>For </u><u>student 2</u><u>:</u>

Work\;done = 500 \times 5

Work done = 2500 Joules.

Therefore, the student who did the most work is student 2 with 2500 Joules.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied​
never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman  = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

        Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

         Force  = Pressure x area

        Force  = 300 x 0.02  = 6N
