Answer:  2.75 kg*m/s

========================================

Explanation:

I'll use these variables

  • F = force
  • m = mass
  • a = acceleration
  • v = velocity
  • t = time
  • i = impulse

though as shown below, we have the time variable cancel out

F = ma .... newton's second law

F = m*(v/t)

i = F*t

i = m*(v/t)*t

i = m*v

The impulse is the product of mass and velocity

In this case, we have

  • m = 125 grams = 0.125 kg
  • v = 22 m/s

So,

i = m*v

i = (0.125 kg)*(22 m/s)

i = (0.125*22) kg*m/s

i = 2.75 kg*m/s

This is equivalent to 2.75 Ns where "Ns" is an abbreviation of "Newton seconds". It's effectively multiplying the Newton unit with the seconds unit.

The impulse is the change in momentum. So the snowball has a change of momentum of 2.75 kg*m/s

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.763 m

Explanation:

Intensity I = power P ÷ area A of exposure (spherical area of propagation)

I = P/A

A = P/I

Power = 10.0 W

Intensity = 1.39 W/m^2

A = 10/1.39 = 7.19 m^2

Area A = 4¶r^2

7.19 = 4 x 3.142 x r^2

7.19 = 12.568r^2

r^2 = 7.19/12.568 = 0.57

r = 0.753 m

If two variables have a non-related relationship and one of the variables is changed, how will the other variable change?
PolarNik [594]

If one of the variables is changed, that tells nothing about what happens to the other one, or IF anything happens, or when, or how long it lasts. Because they are UN-RELATED. You just said so yourself.

None of the choices says this.

1. How much force would you have to apply to a 15kg object in order to accelerate it!<br> a 2 m/s?
mihalych1998 [28]

30N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 15kg

Acceleration = 2m/s

Unknown:

Force = ?

Solution:

Force is given as the product of mass and acceleration:

         F = m x a

   m is the mass

    a is the acceleration

Inputting the parameters:

     F = 15 x 2 = 30N

The unit of force is newtons, N .

A mole runs 10 meters due East, then runs 9 meters due South, then runs 3 meters due North. The mole then burrows 2 meters down
Vladimir [108]

Let the directions are defined by vectors as following

East = + x direction

West = - x direction

North = + y direction

South = - y direction

upwards = + z direction

downwards = - z direction

So here we are given that it moves

1). 10 m East

2). 9 m South

3). 3 m North

4). 2 m down

So we can write it as

d_1 = 10 \hat i

d_2 = 9 (-\hat j)

d_3 = 3 \hat j

d_4 = 2 (-\hat k)

Now total displacement will be given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3 +d_4

d = 10 \hat i - 9 \hat j + 3 \hat j - 2 \hat k

d = 10 \hat i - 6 \hat j - 2 \hat k

now the magnitude of the displacement will be

d = \sqrt{10^2 + 6^2 + 2^2}

d = 11.8 m

so the magnitude of displacement will be 11.8 m
