Explanation:
A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,
h = 2.3 m
So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.
Answer:
B) the change in momentum.
Explanation:
The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ():
(1)
We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
So, (1) becomes
Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find
And the quantity is equivalent to the change in momentum,
.
