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

A wind is blowing a small ice fishing shed along the ice to the east with a 800N force. The shed weighs 2,200N. What would the l
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

0.36

Explanation:

The maximum force of friction exerted by the surface is given by:

F_f = \mu N (1)

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal reaction

The shed's weight is 2200 N. Since there is no motion along the vertical direction, the normal reaction is equal and opposite to the weight, so

N = 2200 N

The horizontal force that is pushing the shed is

F = 800 N

In order for it to keep moving, the force of friction (which acts horizontally in the opposite direction) must be not greater than this value. So the maximum force of friction must be

F_f = 800 N

And substituting the values into eq.(1), we can find the maximum value of the coefficient of friction:

\mu = \frac{F_f}{N}=\frac{800}{2200}=0.36

When velocity is graphed with respect to time, what does the area under
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

the answer is D

Explanation:

Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object.

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A rock is dropped from a tall bridge and hits the water below in 2.9
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The height of the bridge is 14.5

Explanation:

Given the following data

t = 2.9 seconds

g = +10m/s^2

Using the below formula

H = ut + 1/2gt^2

Since the initial velocity u = 0

Then, H = 1/2gt^2

H = 1/2 x 2.9 x 10

H = 2.9 x 10 / 2

H = 2.9 x 5

H = 14.5
