Answer:

1.5 kgms⁻¹

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as "<em>mass in motion</em>."  

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motiom 

when there is a change in the velocity , it creates a change in momentum also

when we consider that we can mathematically show this,In terms of an equation,

Change in momentum    (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

where (Δv) - change in velocity

<em>(Δv) = final velocity - initial velocity</em>

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

                                             = 0.1×([55-40])

                                             = 1.5 kgms⁻¹

2. Can you place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g so they are in equilibrium. Justify your answer.
Bond [772]

Answer:

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Equilibrium means their sum must be zero.

Here the forces are 5g, 6g, and 12g.

For number of forces to be in equilibrium the magnitude of largest vector should be less than sum of the magnitude of other vectors.

Here

        Magnitude of largest force = 12 g

        Sum of magnitudes of other forces = 5g + 6g = 11g

       Magnitude of largest force >   Sum of magnitudes of other forces

So this forces cannot form equilibrium.

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first
nordsb [41]

Answer:

a=0.555m/s^2

Explanation:

First we find the distance traveled from the moment the engineer reacts to the car, assuming uniform movement

X=VT

X=(18)(0.45)=8.1m

then we find the distance at which the deceleration begins, which is obtained by subtracting the total distance with the inner result

X=300-8.1=291.9

finally we use the equation for constant acceleration

Vf=0 final speed

Vo=18m/s= initial speed

X=291.9m

(Vf^2-Vo^2)/2X=a

(0-18^2)/(2*291.9)=a

a=0.555m/s^2
