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

Physics

Snezhnost [94]3 years ago

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>

Rubber rods charged by rubbing with cat fur repel each other. Glass rods charged by rubbing with silk repel each other. A rubber
puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)
salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm

Object distance is 9 cm

v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

How can citizen -scientists help with the prediction of future earthquakes
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Avoid downed power lines and stay away from buildings and bridges from which heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. Stay away until local officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over.

A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m
