The momentum of a falling rock is found to be 200 kg m/s. What is the mass of the rock if it falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

p=m*v

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}

\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=m

The units of meters per second (m/s) cancel.

\frac{200 \ kg}{5.0 } =m

40 \ kg = m

The falling rock has a mass of <u>40 kilograms.</u>

To move a heavy object, like a refrigerator what could be used to help decrease the frictional force?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

A. Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load.

B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor

C. Use round objects, like pencils , to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator over the pencils more easily

Explanation:

Force of friction is a resistance force which acts between two surfaces which are in relative motion. Friction is both boon and bane. Due to friction, we are able to sit, walk etc but also, due to friction there is dissipation of energy. Friction can be reduced by applying lubricants, reducing contact area, reducing the load.

F = μN where N is the normal force which depends on the mass.

Thus, by reducing the load, force of friction can be reduced. Round objects like wheels can also be used. By this the contact area reduces.

An elevator starts from rest with a constant upward acceleration and moves 1 m in the first 1.7 s. A passenger in the elevator i
avanturin [10]

Answer: Tension = 53.6N

Explanation:

Given that

Height h = 1 m

Time t = 1.7 s.

Mass m = 5.1 kg 

From the equation of the motion we can get the acceleration of the elevator:

h = X0+ V0t + at2/2;

Th elevator starts from rest with a constant upward acceleration. Initial velocity Vo = 0, also Xo = 0; thus

a = 2h/t2 = 2 × 1/1.7^2

a = 0.69 m/s2.

Then we can find the tension in the cord by using the formula

T = mg + ma

= 5.1 (9.8 + 0.69)

= 5.1 × 10.5

= 53.6N
