Hello!

<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}

a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}

a = -10\ m/s^{2}

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

A car is making a 40 mi trip. It travels the first half of the total distance 20.0 mi at 18.00 mph and the last half of the tota
sukhopar [10]

Answer: The average speed is 27,24 mph (exactly 1008/37 mph)

Explanation:

This is solved using a three rule: We know the speeds and the distances, what we can obtain from it is the time used. It is done like this:

1h--->18mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/18mi= 10/9 h=1,111 h

1h--->56mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/56mi= 5/14 h=0,35714 h

Then the average speed is calculated by taking into account that it was traveled 40mi and the time used was 185/126 h=1,468 h and since speed is distance over time we get the answer. Average speed= 40mi/(185/126 h)=1008/37 mph=27,24 mph.
