A 1.23 x 10^3 kilogram car is traveling east at 25 meters per second. The brakes are applied and the car is brought to rest in 5

.00 seconds. Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest. State the direction of impulse applied to the car.

Answer:

\text{Magnitude: }30,000\:\text{Ns},\\\text{Direction: opposite direction of car's movement}}

Explanation:

*Edit: The original question states a mass of 1.23\cdot 10^3\:\text{kg}. Since the, the poster has corrected it to 1.20\cdot 10^3\:\text{kg} and therefore the answers have been change to account for the typo.

The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse on a object is equal to the change in momentum of the object.

Therefore, we have the following equation:

F\Delta t=\Delta p, where F\Delta t is impulse (another way to find impulse) and \Delta p is change in momentum.

Because the car is being slowed to a rest, its final velocity will be zero, and therefore its final momentum will also be zero. Since momentum is given as p=mv, the car's change in momentum is 1.20\cdot 10^3\cdot 25-0=1230\cdot 25=30,000\:\text{kgm/s}.

As we wrote earlier, this is also equal to the magnitude of impulse on the object. The time it takes to stop the car is actually irrelevant to finding the total impulse. However, if we were to calculated the average applied force on the car, we would need how long it takes to bring it to rest (refer to F\Delta t).

The direction of the impulse must be exactly opposite to the car's direction, since we are slowing it to a stop.

Therefore, the impulse on the car is \boxed{30,750\:\text{Ns, opposite direction of car's movement}}.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance.  i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$

In the context when the distance was 3 m, the intensity of the sound was = $\frac{1}{9}$

But when the distance became 6 cm or 0.06 m, the sound intensity decreases by =  $\frac{1}{0.06^2}$

                       = $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg roller coaster car that is moving with speed of 40.0 m/s​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

KE=800,000

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2mv^2 or Kinetic Energy= 0.5*mass*velocity^2

so 1000 is the mass and 40 is the velocity

KE=0.5*1000*40^2

KE=0.5*1,000*1,600

KE=800,000 Joules

That 1.5 kg brick falls to the ground. What is the kinetic energy when the brick is moving at 26 m/s? Formula: Variables: Work w
Tresset [83]

Answer:

<h2>507 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1.5 \times  {26}^{2}  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1.5 \times 676 \\  = 1.5 \times 338  \\ = 507

We have the final answer as

<h3>507 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved
