What is the magnitude of the velocity of a 25 kg mass that is moving with a momentum of 100 kg*m/s?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

v= 4 m/s

Explanation:

Momenutm is, by definition, the product of mass and velocity.

p = mv

Let's replace what we know and solve for whatever's left

100 kg\cdot m/s = 25kg \cdot v \rightarrow v= 4 m/s

You are launching a 2 kg potato out of a potato cannon. The cannon is 2.0 m long and is aimed 70 degrees above the horizontal. I
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J

<span>Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. It is indirectly related to the frequency which is the number of wave that pass per unit of time. Wavelength is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency. We calculate as follows:
