Hello!

$\large\boxed{p = 5 \text{ } kgm/s}$

Use the equation for momentum:

$p = mv$

Plug in the given mass and velocity into the equation:

$p = 10 * 0.5$

$p = 5 kgm/ s$

The temperature of a lead fishing weight rises from 26∘c to 38∘c as it absorbs 11.3 j of heat. what is the mass of the fishing w

Nimfa-mama [501]

Given:
ΔT = 38 - 26 = 12°C, temperature change
Q = 11.3 J, heat input
c = 0.128 J/(g-°C), specific heat of lead

Let m = the mass of the lead.
Then
Q = m*c*ΔT
(m g)*(0.128 J/(g-°C))*(12 °C) = 11.3 J
1.536m = 11.3
m = 7.357 g

Answer: 7.36 g (2 sig. figs)

A 6 N and a 10 N force act on an object. The moment arm of the 6 N force is 0.2 m. If the 10 N force produces five times the tor

Levart [38]

Answer:

The moment arm is 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First force $F_{1}=6\ N$

Second force $F_{2}=10\ N$

Distance r = 0.2 m

We need to calculate the moment arm

Using formula of torque

$\tau=Force\times lever\ arm$

So, Here,

$\tau_{2}=5 \tau_{1}$

We know that,

The torque is the product of the force and distance.

Put the value of torque in the equation

$F_{2}\times d_{2}=5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}$

$r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}}{F_{2}}$

Where, $F_{1}$ =First force

$F_{1}$ =First force

$F_{2}$ =Second force

$r_{1}$ = distance

Put the value into the formula

$r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times6\times0.2}{10}$

$r_{2}=0.6\ m$

Hence, The moment arm is 0.6 m

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow accelerated?

Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.

Leviafan [203]

Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is:

s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. 

This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. 

Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet.
