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

Jess rides her motorcycle at an average speed of 20 m/s for 500 seconds. how far did she ride
Sedaia [141]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)

Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)

Distance = 10,000 m

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 NN . If you t
shtirl [24]

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³
