A push on a 1-kg brick accelerates it. Neglecting friction, equally accelerating a 10-kg brick requires 10 times as much force.

Using your knowledge of Newton’s Second Law, explain why this is correct.

A 0.58 kg mass is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The mass rebounds with a speed of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is $m$ and the velocity of that object is $v$ , the linear momentum of that object would be $m\, v$ .

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive ( $6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be $(-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})$ .

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}$ .

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be $5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

The table shows information about four students who are running around a track. Which statement is supported by the information

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of each student is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the student

v is the speed of the student

Let's use the formula above to calculate the kinetic energy of each student:

- Autumn: $K=\frac{1}{2}(50 kg)(4 m/s)^2=400 J$

- Mohammed: $K=\frac{1}{2}(57 kg)(3 m/s)^2=256.5 J$

- Lexy: $K=\frac{1}{2}(53 kg)(3 m/s)^2=238.5 J$

- Chiang: $K=\frac{1}{2}(64 kg)(5 m/s)^2=800 J$

Therefore, by looking at the numbers, we see that the correct answer is

Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn

Which pair correctly identifies the strongest and weakest fundamental forces,

Kay [80]

Answer: Option B.

Strong nuclear force Gravity.

Explanation:

Nuclear force is the strongest force while Gravity is the weakest force. Strong nuclear force is the strongest force because it's act and hold atoms of matter together. It also binds neutrons and protons together to form atomic nuclei and it's has strength of 1.

Gravity is considered the weak force out of the four fundamental forces because it has a very small strength of 10^40 than electromagnetic force.

What can cause you to observe that sone objects fall faster than others?

bekas [8.4K]

Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly.
