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>

A carnival game consists of a two masses on a curved frictionless track, as pictured below. The player pushes the larger object
Harman [31]

Answer:

v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the maximum height data, with energy we can know how fast the body came out

Final mechanical energy, maximum height

    Em_{f} = U = m g h

Initial mechanical energy, in the lower part of the track

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

    Em=   Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = m g h

    v = √ 2gh

Now we can use the moment to find the speed with which objects collide

The large object has a mass M = 5.41 kg a velocity starts v₁₀, the small object has a mass m = 1.68 kg an initial velocity of zero v₂₀ = 0 and  final velocity v

Initial before the crash

    p₀ = M v₁₀ + 0

Final after the crash

      p_{f} = M v1f + m v

   p₀ =   p_{f}

   M v₁₀ = M v_{1f}+ m v

As the shock is elastic the kinetic energy is conserved

     K₀ = K_{f}

    ½ M v₁₀² = ½ M v_{1f}² + ½ m v²

Let's write the system of equations

    M v₁₀ = M  v_{1f} + m v

    M v1₁₀² = M v_{1f}² + m v²

We cleared v1f in the first we replaced in the second

   v_{1f} = (M v₁₀ - mv) / M

    M v₁₀² = M (M v₁₀ - mv)² / M² + m v²

    M v₁₀² = 1 / M (M² v₁₀² - 2mM v v₁₀ + m² v²) +m v²

     v₁₀² (M - M) + 2 m v v₁₀ - v² (m2 + m) / M = 0

     2 m v₁₀ - v (m + 1) m/ M = 0

     v₁₀ = v (m +1) / (2M)

Let's substitute the value of v

     v1₁₀= √ (2gh) (m +1) / (2M)

Let's calculate

    v₁₀ = √ (2 9.8 3) (1+ 1.68) / (2  5.41)

    V₁₀ = 7.668 (2.68) / 10.82

   v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

A satellite of mass M = 270kg is in circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude equal to the earth's mean radius (6370 km). A
zubka84 [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Orbital Speed as a function of the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet and the orbital distance of the satellite. From finding the velocity it will be possible to calculate the period of the body and finally the gravitational force acting on the satellite.

PART A)

V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{R}}

Here,

M = Mass of Earth

R = Distance from center to the satellite

Replacing with our values we have,

V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{(6370*10^3)+(6370*10^3)}}

V_{orbital} = 5591.62m/s

V_{orbital} = 5.591*10^3m/s

PART B) The period of satellite is given as,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm_E}}

T = \frac{2\pi r}{V_{orbital}}

T = \frac{2\pi (2*6370*10^3)}{5.591*10^3}

T = 238.61min

PART C) The gravitational force on the satellite is given by,

F = ma

F = \frac{1}{4} mg

F = \frac{270*9.8}{4}

F = 661.5N

I would love to stretch a wire from our house to the Shop so I can 'call' my husband in for meals. The wire could be tightened t
dezoksy [38]
Note: I'm not sure what do you mean by "weight 0.05 kg/L". I assume it means the mass per unit of length, so it should be "0.05 kg/m".

Solution:
The fundamental frequency in a standing wave is given by
f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }
where L is the length of the string, T the tension and m its mass. If  we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we find
f= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 24 m} \sqrt{ \frac{240 N}{0.05 kg/m} }=1.44 Hz

The wavelength of the standing wave is instead twice the length of the string:
\lambda=2 L= 2 \cdot 24 m=48 m

So the speed of the wave is
v=\lambda f = (48 m)(1.44 Hz)=69.1 m/s

And the time the pulse takes to reach the shop is the distance covered divided by the speed:
t= \frac{L}{v}= \frac{24 m}{69.1 m/s}=0.35 s

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals.
Bess [88]

time should you wait between pushes is 2.83 sec.

the question is incomplete, full statement is-

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals. If you want to increase the amplitude of her motion as quickly as possible, how much time should you wait between pushes?

<h3>What is Amplitude?</h3>

In physics, amplitude refers to the greatest displacement or distance that a point on a vibrating body or wave may move relative to its equilibrium location. It is equivalent to the vibration path's half-length.

regular interval - at similarly spaced intervals: having the same interval of time between occurrences From 4 a.m. to midnight, the buses operate at regular intervals. The boards are positioned at regular intervals, with an equal amount of space between each.

The length of swing, l = 2.1 m

The time between the pushes is nothing but the Time period

and is given by the formula,

T = 2\pi  ( \frac{l}{g}  )^{\frac{1}{2} }

= 2 * 3.14 ( 2.0/ 9.8 ) ^ (1/2)

= 2.83 sec
