Answer:

200,000 and 20,000,000

Explanation:

Substituting the values into the equation of momentum, we get that the momentum is p = mv = 20,000*10 = 200,000. Using the equation provided to solve for the force the truck experienced, we find: 20,000*10/0.01 = 20,000,000.

I hope this helps!

A baseball player leads off the game and hits a long home run. The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 70.0 from the horizontal w

professor190 [17]

Answer: 211.059 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\theta=70\°$ The angle at which the ball leaves the bat

$V_{o}=55 m/s$ The initial velocity of the ball

$g=-9.8 m/s^{2}$ The acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: $x$

Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:

Horizontally:

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos \theta$ (1)

$V_{ox}=55 m/s cos(70\°)=18.811 m/s$ (2)

Vertically:

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin \theta$ (3)

$V_{oy}=55 m/s sin(70\°)=51.683 m/s$ (4)

On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when $V=0$ and the time $t$ is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.

So, if we use the following equation, we will find $t$ :

$V=V_{o}+gt=0$ (5)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{-V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

$t=\frac{-55 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^{2}}$ (7)

$t=5.61 s$ (8)

Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time $T$ it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice $t$ :

$T=2t=2(5.61 s)=11.22 s$ (9)

With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:

$x=V_{ox}T$ (10)

Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):

$x=(18.811 m/s)(11.22 s)$ (11)

Finally:

$x=211.059 m$

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

$U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}$

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

$U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J$

The work is defined as:

$W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J$

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

$U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J$

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

$8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s$

Which statement is true about an atom and an element?

Lemur [1.5K]

"An atom is the smallest unit of matter and an element is a pure substance that is made of identical atoms" is correct. Although atoms can be broken down further now, it still take a whole atom to make an element.
