Answer:

A. Momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s

B. The human will run at 28.56 m/s

Explanation:

A. Determination of the momentum of the grizzly bear.

Mass of grizzly bear = 420 lb

Velocity of grizzly bear = 17 m/s

momentum of the grizzly bear =?

Next, we shall convert 420 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 0.454 kg

Therefore,

420 lb = 420 lb × 0.454 Kg / 1 lb

420 lb = 190.68 Kg

Thus, 420 lb is equivalent to 190.68 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the momentum of the grizzly bear as follow:

Mass of grizzly bear = 190.68 Kg

Velocity of grizzly bear = 17 m/s

momentum of the grizzly bear =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 190.68 × 17

Momentum = 3241.56 Kgm/s

Thus, the momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s

B. Determination of how fast the human will run.

Mass of human = 250 lb

Momentum of human = momentum of the grizzly bear

Momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s

Momentum of human = 3241.56 Kgm/s

Velocity of human =?

Next, we shall convert 250 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 0.454 kg

Therefore,

250 lb = 250 lb × 0.454 Kg / 1 lb

250 lb = 113.5 Kg

Thus, 250 lb is equivalent to 113.5 Kg

Finally, we shall determine how fast the human will run as follow:

Mass of human = 113.5 Kg

Momentum of human = 3241.56 Kgm/s

Velocity of human =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

3241.56 = 113.5 × velocity

Divide both side by 113.5

Velocity = 3241.56 / 113.5

Velocity = 28.56 m/s

Therefore, the human will run at 28.56 m/s to match the momentum of the grizzly bear

The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 10-4(°C)−1. Assume 1.00 gal of

kipiarov [429]

Answer: 0.4911 kg

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\rho_{0\°C}= 730 kg/m^{3}$ is the density of gasoline at $0\°C$

$\beta=9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}$ is the average coefficient of volume expansion

We need to find the extra kilograms of gasoline.

So, firstly we need to transform the volume of gasoline from gallons to $m^{3}$ :

$V=8.50 gal \frac{0.00380 m^{3}}{1 gal}=0.0323 m^{3}$ (1)

Knowing density is given by: $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ , we can find the mass $m_{1}$ of 8.50 gallons:

$m_{1}=\rho_{0\°C}V$

$m_{1}=(730 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})=23.579 kg$ (2)

Now, we have to calculate the factor $f$ by which the volume of gasoline is increased with the temperature, which is given by:

$f=(1+\beta(T_{f}-T_{o}))$ (3)

Where $T_{o}=0\°C$ is the initial temperature and $T_{f}=21.7\°C$ is the final temperature.

$f=(1+9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}(21.7\°C-0\°C))$ (4)

$f=1.020832$ (5)

With this, we can calculate the density of gasoline at $21.7\°C$ :

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=730 kg/m^{3} f=(730 kg/m^{3})(1.020832)$

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=745.207 kg/m^{3}$ (6)

Now we can calculate the mass of gasoline at this temperature:

$m_{2}=\rho_{21.7\°C}V$ (7)

$m_{2}=(745.207 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})$ (8)

$m_{2}=24.070 kg$ (9)

And finally calculate the mass difference $\Delta m$ :

$\Delta m=m_{2}-m_{1}=24.070 kg-23.579 kg$ (10)

$\Delta m=0.4911 kg$ (11) This is the extra mass of gasoline
