What is the formula that describes the magnitude of impulse on an object?

Physics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Option C.

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Explanation:

Impulse is defined by the following the following formula:

Impulse = force (F) × time (t)

Impulse = Ft

From Newton's second law of motion,

Force = change in momentum /time

Cross multiply

Force × time = change in momentum

Recall:

Impulse = Force × time

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Recall:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum = mv

Chang in momentum = mass × change in velocity

Change in momentum = mΔv

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

A single slit of width 0.50 mm is illuminated with light of wavelength 500 nm, and a screen is placed 120 cm in front of the sli
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

a) 2.4 mm

b) 1.2 mm

c) 1.2 mm

Explanation:

To find the widths of the maxima you use the diffraction condition for destructive interference, given by the following formula:

m\lambda=asin\theta

a: width of the slit

λ: wavelength

m: order of the minimum

for little angles you have:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

y: height of the mth minimum

a) the width of the central maximum is 2*y for m=1:

w=2y_1=2\frac{1(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}=2.4*10^{-3}m=2.4mm

b) the width of first maximum is y2-y1:

w=y_2-y_1=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[2-1]=1.2mm

c) and for the second maximum:

w=y_3-y_2=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[3-2]=1.2mm

One simple use of the elements of the electromagnetic spectrum that we use during our everyday lives is our daily use of microwave radiation. microwave radiation is absorbed by water molecules which heats up and cooks the food whilst killing bacteria. Another would be ultraviolet radiation which we use daily in things such as light bulbs. The sun also uses this. Lastly, we use radio waves constantly. May it be tv programs, radio, or our cell phones.

A cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

          x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

          x = 2²/(2 0.8)

         x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m
