Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

p

and is also equal to force times time:

I

=

F

t

. Rearranging,

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

t

Explanation:

Momentum before the collision is

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

The change in momentum,

This is called the impulse:

I

=

Δ

p

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

I

=

F

t

.

We can rearrange this expression to make

F

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

At time t=0 , in your frame of reference Z, you measure the back of the spaceship to be at x=0 and the front of the ship to be a
Liula [17]

An equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0  is  

l =l0/y. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0?</h3>

Generally, Any object's length in a moving frame will look shortened or contracted when seen in that direction. The Lorentz transformation may be used to determine the amount of contraction.

In conclusion, To use the Lorentz Lorentz transformation, the length Lo-x2 - may be determined if it is measured in the moving reference frame. Hence the Resultant l = l0/y.

Which shows a decrease in fluid pressure? A. Water in a creek slows down as it enters a slow-moving river. B. Oxygen is compress
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option D.

A fan is turned from high speed to low speed.

Explanation:

It is important to note that air is also a fluid.

In a system, static pressure of air increases with the speed of rotation of the fan. This is because when the speed of the fan is increased, the force with which it is pushing the air molecules is increased. Since pressure is a relationship between force and area, the pressure of the air molecules will be increased.

Conversely, when the speed of the fan is reduced, the priming force on the air molecules will be reduced, hence the pressure of the air will drop.

This makes option D the correct option

Dominic Roth is in a roller coaster car, which rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope.
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 6m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

Initial velocity = 4m/s

Final velocity = 22m/s

Time = 3s

Acceleration = (22 - 4) / 3

a = 18 / 3 = 6m/s²
