Show mathematically why an 80,000-pound (36,000 kg) big rig traveling 2 mph (0.89 m/s) has the SAME MOMENTUM as a 4,000-pound (1

,800 kg) sport utility vehicle traveling 40 mph (18 m/s).

The equation for momentum is p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

The momentum of the truck is:
p = mv
p = (36,000 kg)(0.89 m/s)
p = 32,000 kg • m/s

p is 32,000 because when multiplying two numbers your answer uses the same amount of sig figs as the number with the lowest amount of sig figs. Here, both the mass and the velocity have 2 SFs so the answer has 2 SFs.

p = mv
p = (1,800 kg)(18 m/s)
p = 32,000 kg • m/s

32,000 = 32,000 so the momentum is equal

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.

Which of the following BEST represent a good plan for decreasing your BMI?
Deffense [45]
I’d say b is the better option because d is starving yourself which creates unhealthy habits, c would cause yo yo dieting or binging because you treat food as a reward which is a toxic mindset, and a same explanation. I wish there was an answer to just track what you eat, have daily exercise and enjoy in moderation, though.

Answer:

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

As we know that electric field due to infinite line charge distribution at some distance from it is given as

E = \frac{2k \lambda}{r}

now we need to find the electric field at mid point of two wires

So here we need to add the field due to two wires as they are oppositely charged

Now we will have

E_{net} = \frac{2k\lambda_1}{r} + \frac{2k\lambda_2}{r}

now plug in all data

\lambda_1 = 4.68 \muC/m

\lambda_2 = 2.48 \mu C/m

r = 0.200 m

now we have

E_{net} = \frac{2k}{r}(4.68 + 2.48)

E_{net} = \frac{2(9\times 10^9)}{0.200}(7.16 \times 10^{-6})

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C
