If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?
Rama09 [41]
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
K_f = 0 J
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

On a trolley ride around an amusement park, a child travelled from one signpost to a second signpost at a constant speed of 125
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed given = 125 m /min

125 /60 m /s

In 450 second it will travel

= 450 x 125 / 60

=937.5 m.  

As the distance  is covered in less than 450 seconds , The distance must be less than 937.5 m

In 400 seconds , it will travel

= 400 x 125 / 60

833.33 m

Since the distance is covered in more than 400 seconds , the distance must be more than ie 833.33 .

Hence the distance covered is more than .833 m but less than 937.5

In either case these distance are more than .8 km .

The linear momentum of a truck of mass 5000 kg that is moving at a velocity of +30 m/a is ___ kg m/s
miv72 [106K]

Linear momentum of a truck is 1,50,000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Linear momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, which have a magnitude and a direction.

Linear momentum is a property of an object which is in motion with respect to a reference point (i.e. any object changing its position with respect to the reference point).

It's SI units are kg.m/s

Linear momentum is a vector quantity.

Linear momentum formula (p) = mass × velocity

Given data mass = 5000 kg ; velocity = 30 m/s

P = 5000 × 30

Linear momentum p= 1,50,000 kg.m/s
