A hockey player uses a 400- gram stick to apply 50 newtons of force to a 170-gram puck, causing a momentum of change 5kg x m/s.

What is the impulse experienced by the hockey puck?

Answer: 5 N•s

Explanation:

An impulse will result in a change of momentum.

If the momentum changed 5 kg•m/s, you can be certain that an impulse of 5 N•s has been applied.

The units for Impulse and momentum are identical

kg•m/s = N•s

if we divide each side by s

kg•m/s/s = N•s/s

kg•m/s² = N

which is probably familiar already

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800

Arada [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 5000 kg, h = 800 km = $0.8 \times 10^{6} m$

$R_{e} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m$ , r = R + h = $7.17 \times 10^{6} m$

$M_{e} = 5.98 \times 10^{24}$ kg, G = $6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$

As we know that,

$\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \frac{GmM_{e}}{r^{2}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{2}}}$

And, it is known that formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 5.98 \times 10^{-24} kg^{-2}}{(7.17 \times 10^{6} m)^{3}}}$

= $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the satellite is $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$ .

A car travels at a speed of 40 m/s for 29.0 s;<br>what is the distance traveled by the car?

lianna [129]

Answer: 1160 m

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time. Plug in 40 m/s for speed and 29 s for time in order to get the distance, 1160 m.

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration

Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

$F_f = \mu N$

Where,

$\mu =$ Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

$m_h = 242 kg\\m_c = 224 kg\\\mu = 0.894\\$

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

$F_{net} = F_f$

$m_{total}a = \mu m_hg$

$(m_h+m_c)a = \mu*m_h*g$

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

$a= \frac{\mu*m_h*g}{(m_h+m_c)}$

$a = \frac{0.894*242*9.8}{(242+224)}$

$a = 4.54 m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is $4.54m/s^2$
