Answer:

It has less mass than the car

Explanation:

Both car and bug have the same amount of force acting on them. As the bug mass is much smaller, it sees a greater acceleration

F = ma

A 3.1-kilogram gun initially at rest is free to

The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

A 3.0 kg box is suspended by a series of ropes as shown below. The tension force in the horizontal rope is -40 N. What is the te
Nitella [24]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:

The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.

The horizontal component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0

F₂ = 40N

The vertical component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0

F₂ = mg

If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:

F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N

Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:

F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N

Answer:

2.5 × 10-⁴¹ Ns

Explanation:

Impulse

I = F × t

I = 5000 N × 5 × 10-⁴⁵ s

I = 25 × 10-⁴² Ns

I = 2.5 × 10-⁴¹ Ns
