This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.

Marysya12 [62]
We know, F = k * q₁ * q₂ / r²

Substitute the known values, 
F = 9 * 10⁹ * 5 * 7 / (1.2)²

F = 315 * 10⁹ / 1.44

F = 218.75 * 10⁹ N

F = 2.1875 * 10¹¹ N   [ Final Answer ]

Hope this helps!

A 2,000 kg rocket is launched 12 km straight up at a constant acceleration into the sky at which point the rocket is travelling
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

A 1000 kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16 s, then the motor sto
Fed [463]

Answer:

a)   a = 34.375 m / s²,  b)    v_f = 550 m / s

Explanation:

This problem is the launch of projectiles, they tell us to ignore the effect of the friction force.

a) Let's start with the final part of the movement, which is carried out from t= 16 s with constant speed

             v_f = \frac{x-x_1}{t}

we substitute the values

             v_f = \frac{ 6600 -x_1}{4}  

The initial part of the movement is carried out with acceleration

             v_f = v₀ + a t

             x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

the rocket starts from rest v₀ = 0 with an initial height x₀ = 0

             x₁ = ½ a t²

             v_f = a t

we substitute the values

              x₁ = 1/2  a 16²

              x₁ = 128 a

              v_f = 16 a

let's write our system of equations  

               v_f = \frac{6600 - x_1}{4}

               x₁ = 128 a

               v_f = 16 a

we substitute in the first equation  

               16 a = \frac{6600 -128 a}{4}

               16 4 a = 6600 - 128 a

                a (64 + 128) = 6600

                a = 6600/192

                 a = 34.375 m / s²

b) let's find the time to reach this height

                x = ½ to t²

                t² = 2y / a

                t² = 2 5100 / 34.375

                t² = 296.72

                t = 17.2 s

We can see that for this time the acceleration is zero, so the rocket is in the constant velocity part

               v_f = 16 a

               v_f = 16 34.375

               v_f = 550 m / s

How long can a flashlight run for if it draws 0.11 amps and its battery contains 10 coulombs of change?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Battery will run for t = 90 s

Explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge is known as electric current

So we will have

i = \frac{Q}{t}

i = 0.11 A

Q = 10 C

now we have

t = \frac{Q}{i}

t = \frac{10}{0.11}

t = 90 s
