Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

= 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

= 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

= 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

= 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

Suppose you toss a tennis ball upward.a) Does the kinetic energy of the ball increase or decrease as it moves higher?b) What hap

Lilit [14]

Answer:

a) No. The kinetic energy of the ball decreases.

b) The potential energy of the ball increases.

c) The ball would go half of the original distance.

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy would be converted to potential energy as the ball goes higher. Since the total mechanical energy is conserved, the kinetic energy would decrease.

b) The potential energy of the ball would increase. Since the total mechanical energy of the ball is conserved, the ball would lose speed, and therefore kinetic energy. In order to compensate the loss of kinetic energy, the ball would gain potential energy as it goes higher.

c) The relation of the energy and mass is as follows:

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\U = mgh$

According to the energy conservation

$K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgh\\\frac{1}{2}v^2 = gh$

The maximum height that the ball reaches is proportional to the initial velocity. If the ball would be imparted with the same amount of energy, its final potential energy would be the same. However, in order to have the same potential energy (mgh), its height would be half of the original case.

$mgh = (2m)g(\frac{h}{2})$

The only force acting on a 1.9 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 3.9 N. The canister initially has a

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The work done on the canister is 15.34 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of canister, m = 1.9 kg

magnitude of force acting on x-y plane, F = 3.9 N

initial velocity of canister in positive x direction, $v_i$ = 3.9 m/s

final velocity of the canister in positive y direction, $v_j = 5.6 \ m/s$

The change in the kinetic energy of the canister is equal to net work done on the canister by 3.9 N.

ΔK.E = $W_{net}$

ΔK.E $= K.E_f -K.E_i$

The initial kinetic energy of the canister;

$K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} m(\sqrt{v_i^2 +v_j^2 + v_z^2}\ )^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} *1.9(\sqrt{3.9^2 +0^2 + 0^2}\ )^2 = 14.45 \ J$

The final kinetic energy of the canister;

$K.E_f =\frac{1}{2} mv_j^2 \\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} m(\sqrt{v_i^2 +v_j^2 + v_z^2}\ )^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} *1.9(\sqrt{0^2 +5.6^2 + 0^2}\ )^2 = 29.79 \ J$

ΔK.E = 29.79 J - 14.45 J

ΔK.E = $W_{net}$ = 15.34 J

Therefore, the work done on the canister is 15.34 J.

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s. That's momentum. The 20,000 has units of Newtons. That's force. Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely. You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push. The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the impulse you give it. The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

T = 0.1701 second

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

4. SEP Construct Explanations What type(s) of energy

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

it is below pls give 5 star

Explanation:

Foods contain stored potential energy in the form of chemical energy. When we consume food, the particles undergo a chemical reaction that releases the chemical energy. In turn, this energy is used by the body to perform its daily activities.

Therefore, when you eat a bowl of vegetable soup, you get the chemical energy that is stored in it.
