Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

     = 1000 (0 - 20)

     = 1000 (-20)

     = -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.

Calculating Displacement from the Area under a Curve Try Use the graph to answer the question What is the total displacement of
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

175 m

Explanation:

In a velocity vs time graph, displacement is the area under the curve.

We can calculate this as area of a trapezoid:

A = ½ (10 m/s + 60 m/s) (5 s)

A = 175 m

Or, we can split the area into a rectangle and a triangle.

A = (10 m/s) (5 s) + ½ (60 m/s − 10 m/s) (5 s)

A = 175 m

How does convection current helps cooling the system of engines
Ede4ka [16]
As the engine heats up, a natural circulation starts, as coolant rises through the engine block by convection. It passes through the top hose, and into the radiator. Inside the radiator, heat is removed from the coolant as it falls from the top to the bottom.
Hope this helps!
