Hi there!

Recall that:

Change in momentum = mass × change in velocity

Or:

Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Plug in the given values. We can assign east to be positive and west to be negative in this instance (Velocity is a vector with direction).

Thus:

Δp = (1)(-21 - 10) = -31 kgm/s OR 31 kgm/s WEST.

The correct answer is B.

Change in momentum is EQUIVALENT to the quantity of IMPULSE.

The correct answer is H.

A skater rotates with her arms crossed at an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s and she has a moment of inertia of 100 kg/m2. She extend
solong [7]

Answer:

When her hands extends, her momen of inertia is 4.28\ kg-m^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular speed, \omega_i=8\ rad/s

Initial moment of inertia, I_1=100\ kg-m^2

Final angular speed, \omega_f=7\ rad/s

Initially, a skater rotates with her arms crossed and finally she extends her arms. The momentum remains conserved. Using the conservation of momentum as :

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2

I_2 is final moment of inertia

I_2=\dfrac{I_1\omega_1}{\omega_2}\\\\I_2=\dfrac{100\times 8}{7}\\\\I_2=114.28\ kg-m^2

So, when her hands extends, her momen of inertia is 4.28\ kg-m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

__________ is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system
kolezko [41]

Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.
