1) The change in the momentum of the small object is given by the difference between its final momentum and its initial momentum:
\Delta p = p_f - p_i
where p_f, p_i are the final and initial momentum of the small object. Substituting the numbers of the problem, we find
\Delta p = - 5kg m/s -(6 kg m/s) = -11 kg m/s
where we put a negative sign in front of pf because the direction of the object after the collision is opposed to its initial direction.

2) The impulse is equal to the product between the force applied to an object and the time interval:
J= F \Delta t (1)
since the force is the product between the mass and the acceration: F=ma, and the acceleration is equal to the change in velocity divided by the time, we can rewrite (1) as 
J=F \Delta t=ma\Delta t=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \Delta t = m \Delta v = \Delta p
So, the impulse is equal to the variation of momentum. Therefore, the impulse exerted on the small object is
J=\Delta p = -11 kg m/s

3) We have to find the final momentum of the large object. Initially, its momentum is zero, because it is at rest. Using the law of conservation of momentum,
p_i + 0 = p_f + P_f
where p_f, p_i are the final and initial momentum of the small object, while P_f is the final momentum of the large object. By substituting the numbers we had before:
P_f = p_i - p_f = 6 kg m/s -(-5 kg m/s) = 11 kg m/s
So, the impulse exerted on the large object is equal to its variation of momentum:
J= \Delta P = P_f - P_i = 11 kg m/s -0 = 11 kg m/s

Determine the kinetic energy of a 2000 kg roller coaster car that is moving at the speed of 10 ms
kondaur [170]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100,000 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.

E_k= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.

  • m= 2000 kg
  • s= 10 m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (10 \ m/s)^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply the first two numbers together.

E_k= 1000 \ kg  \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply again.

E_k= 100,000 \ kg*m^2/s^2

  • 1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
  • Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.

E_k= 100,000 \ J

The roller coaster car has <u>100,000 Joules</u> of kinetic energy.

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p
kherson [118]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

F=2.64*10^{-16}N

HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JulijaS [17]
Total amount of energy would remain constant according to law of conservation of energy. i.e., 50 Joules

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) <span>50 Joules because as energy converts from one form to another, it cannot be created or destroyed during the conversion.

Hope this helps!

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.​
Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

As the population in a small town grows, a new water treatment plant is built. The plant is built on a local river where it can
abruzzese [7]

Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.

Answer: Option (a)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.

When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.

It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.
