A 20,000 kg truck is traveling at 10 m/s. Calculate the truck's momentum. (p = m v)

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>

9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.

You place an ice cube of mass 7.50×10−3kg and temperature 0.00∘C on top of a copper cube of mass 0.540 kg. All of the ice melts,

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The value is $T_c = 12 .1 ^oC$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the ice cube is $m_i = 7.50 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The temperature of the ice cube is $T_i = 0^o C$

The mass of the copper cube is $m_c = 0.540 \ kg$

The final temperature of both substance is $T_f = 0^oC$

Generally form the law of thermal energy conservation,

The heat lost by the copper cube = heat gained by the ice cube

Generally the heat lost by the copper cube is mathematically represented as

$Q = m_c * c_c * [T_c - T_f ]$

The specific heat of copper is $c_c = 385J/kg \cdot ^oC$

Generally the heat gained by the ice cube is mathematically represented as

$Q_1 = m_i * L$

Here L is the latent heat of fusion of the ice with value $L = 3.34 * 10^{5} J/kg$

So

$Q_1 = 7.50 *10^{-3} * 3.34 * 10^{5}$

=> $Q_1 = 2505 \ J$

So

$2505 = 0.540 * 385 * [T_c - 0 ]$

=> $T_c = 12 .1 ^oC$

Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?

OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.

Assume that the blocks are accelerating, and the x components of their accelerations at a certain moment are a1x and a2x. find t

Serga [27]

we know that center of mass is given as

r = (m₁ $r_{1x}$ + m₂ $r_{2x}$ )/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (m₁ d $r_{1x}$ /dt + m₂ d $r_{2x}$ /dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

v = (m₁ $v_{1x}$ + m₂ $v_{2x}$ )/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative again relative to "t" both side

dv/dt = (m₁ d $v_{1x}$ /dt + m₂ d $v_{2x}$ /dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

a= (m₁ $a_{1x}$ + m₂ $a_{2x}$ )/(m₁ + m₂)

A man starts walking north at 3 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of man due north Vm = 3 ft/s

- The speed of woman due south Vw = 4 ft/s

- Woman starts walking 5 mins later than man

Find:

At what rate are the people moving apart 15 min after the woman starts walking?

Solution:

- The total time for which the man is walking due north from P, is Tm:

Tm = 5 + 15 = 20 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tm mins is:

Dm = Tm*Vm

Dm = 20*60*3

Dm = 3,600 ft

- The total time for which the woman is walking due south from 500 ft due east from P, is Tw:

Tw = 15 = 15 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tw mins is:

Dw = Tw*Vw

Dw = 15*60*4

Dw = 3,600 ft

- The displacement between man and woman at any instance is (s) which can be related by pythagoras theorem as follows:

s^2 = (dm + dw)^2 + 500^2

Where, dm : Distance travelled by man at any time Tm

dw : Distance travelled by woman at any time Tw

- Differentiate s with respect to t:

2s*ds/dt = 2*(dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

s*ds/dt = (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

ds/dt = [ (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / s

- Evaluate the rate of separation of man and woman ds/dt by evaluating at instance Tm = 20 mins and Tw = 15 mins. We have:

ds/dt = [ (Dm + Dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / sqrt ( (Dm + Dw)^2 + 500^2 )

- Plug in the values:

ds/dt = [ (3600 + 3600)*(3 + 4) ] / [sqrt ( (3600 + 3600)^2 + 500^2 )]

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s
