Answer:
0.001 s
Explanation:
The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:
where
F is the force applied
is the change in momentum
is the time interval
The change in momentum can be written as
where
m is the mass
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
So the original equation can be written as
In this problem:
m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist
u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity
v = 0 is the final velocity
F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:
Answer:
(a) 2.5 m/s
(b) 37.5 KJ
Explanation:
(a)
From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum
and making 
the subject then
and since 
is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, 
is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and 
is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution
(b)
Initial kinetic energy is given by
Final kinetic energy is given by
The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence
Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ
4/3 m/s ( approximately 1.3333... m/s)
Answer:
Heavy Rains.
These heavy rains can lead to severe flooding by oversaturating the ground, overfilling storm drains, or causing rivers to spill over their banks or levees
