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

Explanation:

Momentum before the collision is

v

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

The change in momentum,

Δ

p

, is initial minus final

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.)

The magnitude of a force acting on an object is equal to the amount of change in momentum divide by ?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

time taken.

Explanation:

F = ma

F = m × (v - u) / t

F = mv - mu / t

mv - mu = change in momentum

Starting fom rest, a car accelerates at a constant rate, reaching 88 km/h in 12 s. (a) What is its acceleration? (b) How far doe
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

(A)  a=2.0.37m/sec^2

(B) s = 146.664 m

Explanation:

We have given car starts from the rest so initial velocity u = 0 m /sec

Final velocity v = 88 km/hr

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

And 1 hour = 3600 sec

So 88km/hr=88\times \frac{1000}{3600}=24.444m/sec

Time is given t = 12 sec

(A) From first equation of motion v = u+at

So 24.444=0+a\times 12

a=2.0.37m/sec^2

So acceleration of the car will be a=2.0.37m/sec^2

(b) From third equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as

So 24.444^2=0^2+2\times 2.037\times s

s = 146.664 m

Distance traveled by the car in this interval will be 146.664 m

A string fixed at both ends is 8.40 m long and has a mass of 0.120 kg. It is subjected to a tension of 96.0 N and set oscillatin
Luden [163]

Answer:

81.9756 m/s

16.8 m

4.8795 Hz

Explanation:

m = Mass of string = 0.12 kg

L = Length of string = 8.4 m

T = Tension on string = 96 N

Linear density is given by

\mu=\dfrac{m}{L}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{0.12}{8.4}

Spee of the wave is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{96}{\dfrac{0.12}{8.4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=81.9756\ m/s

The speed of the waves on the string is 81.9756 m/s

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=2L\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\times 8.4\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.8\ m

The longest possible wavelength is 16.8 m

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{81.9756}{16.8}\\\Rightarrow f=4.8795\ Hz

The frequency of the wave is 4.8795 Hz
