Answer:

24000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 1200kg

Velocity = 20m/s

Unknown:

Momentum = ?

Solution:

Momentum is the amount of motion a body possesses.

Momentum = mass x velocity

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Momentum = 1200 x 20 = 24000kgm/s

Answer:

option (i) is correct

Explanation:

as there is no air resistance, no force is acting on the object horizontally, but gravitational acceleration will obviously act, regardless of the air resistance... option (i) is correct

A spring is 6.0cm long when it is not stretched, and 10cm long when a 7.0N force is applied. What force is needed to make it 20c

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Approximately $25\; {\rm N}$ (assuming that this spring is ideal.)

Explanation:

The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.

For example:

When the $6.0\; {\rm cm}$ -spring in this question is stretched to $10\; {\rm cm}$ , the displacement is $x = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm})$ .
Likewise, if this spring is stretched to $20\; {\rm cm}$ , the displacement would be $(20\; {\rm cm} - 6\; {\rm cm})$ .

If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of $F_{\text{a}}$ displaces this spring by $x_{\text{a}}$ , while a force of $F_{\text{b}}$ displaces this spring by $x_{\text{b}}$ , then:

$\displaystyle \frac{F_{\text{a}}}{x_{\text{a}}} = \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{x_{\text{b}}}$ .

In this question, it is given that a force of $F_{\text{a}} = 7.0 \; {\rm N}$ would stretch this spring by $x_{\text{a}} = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm})$ . Thus, the force $F_{\text{b}}$ required to stretch this spring by $x_{\text{a}} = (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm})$ would satisfy:

$\displaystyle \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}= \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}$ .

Rearrange and solve for $F_{\text{b}}$ :

$\begin{aligned} F_{\text{b}} &= \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}} \, (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) \\ &\approx 25\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

A softball is thrown from the origin of an x-y coordinate system with an initial speed of 18 m/s at an angle of 35∘ above the ho

podryga [215]

What we need to first do is split the ball's velocity into vertical and horizontal components. To do that multiply by the sin or cos depending upon if you're looking for the horizontal or vertical component. If you're uncertain as to which is which, look at the angle in relationship to 45 degrees. If the angle is less than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the horizontal speed, if the angle is greater than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the vertical speed. So let's calculate the velocities sin(35)*18 m/s = 0.573576436 * 18 m/s = 10.32437585 m/s cos(35)*18 m/s = 0.819152044 * 18 m/s = 14.7447368 m/s Since our angle is less than 45 degrees, the higher velocity is our horizontal velocity which is 14.7447368 m/s. To get the x positions for each moment in time, simply multiply the time by the horizontal speed. So 0.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 7.372368399 m 1.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 14.7447368 m 1.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 22.1171052 m 2.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 29.48947359 m Rounding the results to 1 decimal place gives 0.50 s = 7.4 m 1.00 s = 14.7 m 1.50 s = 22.1 m 2.00 s = 29.5 m

Temperature can change the state from solid to liquid causing it to melting, liquid to gas causing vaporization or a solid to a gas causing sublimation. Pressure alone cannot change the state of matter.
