Impulse: a certain amount of force you apply for an amount of time.

Impulse: F*t where F= Force & t=time

Momentum: increasing forward motion.

A ball rolling down a slide gains momentum

p=mv where m=mass and v=velocity

Hope it helps!

While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b

bixtya [17]

Answer: 69.8 degree

Explanation:

F*cos(theta)

is your pushing force projected along the x axis and

-F*0.368*sin(theta)

is the friction force generated by the pressure downwards

when F cos(theta) = F*0.368*sin(theta)

the box wont move no matter how large F is, because you are adding no net force along the x-axis

so sin(theta)/cos(theta) = 1/0.368

tan^-1(1/0.368) = theta

theta = 69.8 degrees

Which of these would be a good model to demonstrate the fact that the galaxies are moving apart as the universe is expanding?

Sergio [31]

Answer: Option A: The spots on the balloon move away as the balloon is inflated.

one of the scientific models describes the galaxies are moving apart as the universe is expanding. This expansion theory came from the observation of red-shifted spectrum from all the directions indicating that the galaxies are moving away. This can be understood from the inflated balloon. Initially spots can be marked using a colored pen on the balloon.On inflating the balloon, it would be noticed that the spots on the balloon move away. Actually the position of the spots won't change, but the distance between the spots would expand. This is a good model to explain the expanding universe. The galaxies are neither moving in any random direction nor moving forward. So, rest of the options are not good models to explain the theory.

1. Why should you use scientific notation when writing big numbers?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

It helps the answer look clean. It also makes the work easier to work with.

Explanation:

Instead of writing a lot of zeros, all you have to do is add exponents to the number to show how much the decimal moved.

A hockey player strikes a puck, giving it an initial velocity of 14.0 m/s in the positive x-direction. The puck slows uniformly

Advocard [28]

a) $-1.71 m/s^2$

b) 7.7 m/s

c) 4.39 s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

In this problem, the acceleration of the puck can be found using the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where:

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the puck in this problem:

u = 14.0 m/s

v = 6.50 m/s

s = 45.0 m

So, the acceleration is:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{6.50^2-14.0^2}{2(45.0)}=-1.71 m/s^2$

The velocity of the puck at time t can be found by using another suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

v is the final velocity

Here, we have:

u = 14.0 m/s

$a=-1.71 m/s^2$ (found in part a)

Therefore, the velocity of the puck after t = 3.70 s is:

$v=14.0+(-1.71)(3.70)=7.7 m/s$

Here we want to find the time taken for the puck to travel a distance of

s = 45.0 m

To solve this part, we can use again the suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

Where in this case, we use:

u = 14.0 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 6.50 m/s is the final velocity when the puck has travelled 45.0 m (this information is given in the question)

$a=-1.71 m/s^2$ is the acceleration (found in part a)

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation, we find the time taken to cover 45.0 m:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{6.50-14.0}{-1.71}=4.39 s$
