Answer:

Tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above,

(1) tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

Mometum = mass×velocity

Momentum = 270×0.5

Momentum = 135 kgm/s

(2) hare with a mass of 2.7 kg moving at a velocity of 7 m/s

Mementum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 2.7×7

Momentum = 18.9 kgm/s

(3) turtle with a mass of 91 kg moving at a velocity of 1.4 m/s

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 91×1.4

Momentum = 127.4 kgm/s

(4) roadrunner with a mass of 1.8 kg moving at a velocity of 6.7 m/s

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 1.8×6.7

Momentum = 12.06 kgm/s

From the above, the one with the greatest momentum is tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

A force of 8.0 N is along x direction, another force of 6.0 N is along +y direction. If both forces are acting on a point object

Darya [45]

Answer:

Resultant force, R = 10 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting along +x direction, $F_x=8\ N$

Force acting along +y direction, $F_y=6\ N$

Both the forces are acting on a point object located at the origin. Let the resultant force of the object is given by R. So,

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2+F_xF_y\ cos\theta}$

Here $\theta=90^{\circ}$

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$R=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}$

R = 10 N

So, the resultant force on the object is 10 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = $\frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}$

= $\frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}$

= $2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) = $1.2 *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

a car with a mass of 2000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. The curve h

melisa1 [442]

In the given problem, we say various information's that are going to help us reach the ultimate answer to the question. Let us first write the information's that have been presented in front of us.
Mass of the car = 2000 kg
Velocity of the car = 25 m/s^2
Radius of the circle = 80 m
Now we already know the equation for calculating the centripetal force and that is
Centripetal Force = [mass * (velocity)^2]/Radius
      = [2000 * (25)^2]/80
      = (2000 * 625)/80
      = 1250000/80
      = 15625
So the centripetal force on the car is 15625 Newtons
