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!

Answer:

c. remains the same, but the RPMs decrease.

Explanation:

Because there aren't external torques on the system composed by the person and the turntable it follows that total angular momentum (I) is conserved, that means the total angular momentum is a constant:

$\overrightarrow{L}=constant$

The total angular momentum is the sum of the individual angular momenta, in our case we should sum the angular momentum of the turntable and the angular momentum of a point mass respect the center of the turntable (the person)

$\overrightarrow{L_{turnatble}}+\overrightarrow{L_{person}}=constant$ (1)

The angular momentum of the turntable is:

$\overrightarrow{L_{turnatble}}=I\overrightarrow{\omega}$ (2)

with I the moment of inertia and ω the angular velocity.

The angular momentum of the person respects the center of the turntable is:

$\overrightarrow{L_{person}}=\overrightarrow{r}\times m\overrightarrow{v}$ (3)

with r the position of the person respects the center of the turntable, m the mass of the person and v the linear velocity

Using the fact $v=\omega r$ :

$\overrightarrow{L_{person}}=\overrightarrow{r}\times rm\overrightarrow{\omega}$ (3)

By (3) and (2) on (1) and working only the magnitudes (it's all that we need for this problem):

$I\omega+r^{2}m\omega=constant$

$\omega(I+r^{2}m)=constant$

Because the equality should be maintained, if we increase the distance between the person and the center of the turntable (r), the angular velocity should decrease to maintain the same constant value because I and m are constants, so the RPM's (unit of angular velocity) are going to decrease.

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = $m s\Delta T$
