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

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

What is the definition of a point object?
Kaylis [27]
Point object is an expression that is used in Kinematics. It refers the object whose dimensions are ignored or neglected and is treated as a dot object to simplify the calculations. When the object is treated as a point object it means the whole mass is summed in one point, you can imagine it as a sphere which has the mass and the radius is 0...

frozen [14]

Answer:Magnitude of potential energy before falling will be equal to the magnitude of the final kinetic energy, energy is only converted from potential to kinetic

Explanation: law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created or destroyed but Change from one form to another.so nothing will happen to the size of the potential energy when it changes to kinetic energy

A block whose weight is 45 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36 N is applied to the block. The coefficient of
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

For the block to move, it must first overcome the static friction.

Fs = N μs

Fs = (45 N) (0.42)

Fs = 18.9 N

This is less than the 36 N applied, so the block will move.  Since the block is moving, kinetic friction takes over.  To find the block's acceleration, use Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F − N μk = ma

36 N − (45 N) (0.65) = (45 N / 9.8 m/s²) a

6.75 N = 4.59 kg a

a = 1.47 m/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the block's acceleration is 1.5 m/s².

Usually the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.  You might want to double check the problem statement, just to be sure.

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

You are loading a refrigerator weighing 2267 N onto a truck, using a wheeled cart. The refrigerator is raised 1.09 m to the truc
meriva

Answer:

a).

Wmin= 2471.03 J

W=1603.01 J

Explanation:

Weight, w= 2267 N

w= m*g\\W=m*g*h \\W=w*h

Minimum work 'h' is the distance the refrigerator is raised h=1.09m

W_{min}=2267 N* 1.09m\\W_{min}=2471.03 J

The motion is no frictional force so, the magnitude of the force with a angle of 45.0° is find using:

W=m*g*h'\\h'= sin(45)\\W=2267N*sin(45)\\W=1603.01 J
