While breaking glass with sound is an interesting trick it really takes a lot of effort vibrations diminishes do you to energy being carried away by the sound waves.
Impulse = (force) x (length of time the force lasts)
I see where you doodled (60)(40) over on the side, and you'll be delighted
to know that you're on the right track !
Here's the mind-blower, which I'll bet you never thought of:
On a force-time graph, impulse (also change in momentum)
is just the <em>area that's added under the graph during some time</em> !
From zero to 60, the impulse is just the area of that right triangle
under the graph. The base of the triangle is 60 seconds. The
height of the triangle is 40N . The area of the triangle is not
the whole (base x height), but only <em><u>1/2 </u></em>(base x height).
1/2 (base x height) = 1/2 (60s x 40N) = <u>1,200 newton-seconds</u>
<u>That's</u> the impulse during the first 60 seconds. It's also the change in
the car's momentum during the first 60 seconds.
Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
If the car wasn't moving at all when the graph began, then its momentum is 1,200 newton-sec after 60 seconds. Through the convenience of the SI system of units, 1,200 newton-sec is exactly the same thing as 1,200 kg-m/s . The car's mass is 3 kg, so after 60 sec, you can write
Momentum = M x V = (3 kg) x (speed) = 1,200 kg-m/s
and the car's speed falls right out of that.
From 60to 120 sec, the change in momentum is the added area of that
extra right triangle on top ... it's 60sec wide and only 20N high. Calculate
its area, that's the additional impulse in the 2nd minute, which is also the
increase in momentum, and that'll give you the change in speed.
Answer:
For the first situation, we first need to find the mass of the second train car.
In order to do that, we apply the conservation of the amount of movement:
and we have as a result:
m2 = 289.6875
For the second situation, also we will apply the conservation of the amount of movement:
and we have as a result:
V = 2.64 (it is moving to the right)
Answer:
Same work is done by the two workers
The first worker exerts more power than the second person
Explanation:
Work is the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the applied force
Power is the rate at which work is done
