Answer:

t=1/4v1

Explanation:

Given data

Car one

Speed =v1

Time =t

Distance =1/4 mile

Given data

Car two

Speed =v1/2

Time =t

Distance =d

Speed =distance/time

v1=1/4/t

v1t=1/4

t=1/4*1/v1

t=1/4v1 seconds

A person drops a brick from the top of a building. The height of the building is 400 m and the mass of the brick is 2.00 kg. Wh

DaniilM [7]

-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground.

-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.

-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
would fall at the same rate. The answer is the same for a feather,
a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ( $\Delta t$ ):

$J=F \Delta t$ (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F=ma$

So, (1) becomes

$J=ma \Delta t$

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

$J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v$

And the quantity $m\Delta v$ is equivalent to the change in momentum, $\Delta p$ .
