A woman of mass 50 kg is swimming with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. If she stops stroking and glides to a stop in the water, what is t

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6

<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>

<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple Law of Momentum Conservation problem of the inelastic type. The equation for this is

[m_1v_1+m_2v_2]_b=[(m_1+m_2)v]_a  Filling in:

[1200(4.5)+2100(0)]=[(1200+2100)v] which simplifies to

5400 + 0 = 3300v

so v = 1.6 m/s to the east, choice B

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 2.5 \times 10^{4} A

Time t = 40 \times 10^{-6} sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

<h3>  I = \frac{Q}{t}</h3>

Where Q = charge transfer between cloud and earth.

 Q =I t

Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}

Q = 1 C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

A coin is dropped. What is its displacement after 0.30 s.
Morgarella [4.7K]
Assuming this coin is on earth and that it wasn’t dropped forcefully:
Use the formula d = 1/2at^2. Rewriting using a=g and solving for height h gets us h = 1/2(9.8)t^2.
In this case that would get that the change in height h is 0.5(9.8)(0.3^2) = 0.441 m.
