A spacecraft has a momentum of 20,000 kg-m/s, and a mass of 250 kg. What is the magnitude of its velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h2>A. 80 m/s </h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of the spacecraft can be found by using the formula

v =  \frac{p}{m}  \\

p is the momentum

m is the mass

From the question we have

v =  \frac{20000}{250}  =  \frac{2000}{25}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>80 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A marble, rolling with speed of 20m/sec rolls off the edge of the table that is 180m high (g=10m/sec2), find time taken to drop
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<em>Choice: c. 6sec</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed (v) from a height (h), it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it finally hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration exists in that direction, thus:

v_x=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

v_y=g.t

Where g=10 m/s^2

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the same formula as for free-fall, since the time does not depend on the initial speed:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The marble rolls the edge of the table at a height of h=180 m, thus:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*180}{10}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{36}

t = 6 sec

Choice: c. 6sec

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

72 joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.

since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)

therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.

What is evaporation? Condensation? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Evaporation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>liquid</u> state to its <u>gaseous</u> state. Condensation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>gaseous</u> state to its <u>liquid</u> state.

Explanation:

Evaporation and condensation are opposite processes to each other. Evaporation changes a liquid to a gas and condensation is the reverse.
