What is the change in momentum of a 50-kg rock that falls freely for 3 seconds?

Physics
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1470kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the rock = 50kg

Time taken for the free fall  = 3s

Unknown:

Change in momentum = ?

Solution:

The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.

  Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

       Momentum  = mass x velocity

Initial momentum  = 0, the velocity is 0

Final momentum = mass x final velocity

      let us find the final velocity;

                V = U + gt

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

                 V  = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s

So;

 Change in momentum  = 50 x 29,4  = 1470kgm/s

What is the ostrich's average acceleration from 9.0 to 18 seconds?
Sedaia [141]

The average acceleration from 9 to 18 seconds is 6 meters per second.

The graph shows that from 9 to 18 seconds the speed of the ostrich stays at a steady 6 meters per second.

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change of state?
Andreas93 [3]
A "heating curve" is a graph that shows the temperature of the substance
against the amount of heat you put into it.

For most of the graph, as you'd expect, the temperature goes up as you
add heat, and it goes down as you take heat away.  BUT ... While the
substance is changing state, its temperature doesn't change even though
you're putting heat in or taking heat out.

So that part of the graph is a horizontal line.

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ
