Answer:

Direction is N 51.3° E

Explanation:

» From trigonometric ratios:

${ \tt{ \red{ \tan( \theta) = \frac{opposite \: { \blue{(south)}}}{adjacent \: { \blue{(west)}}} }}} \\ \\ { \tt{ \tan( \theta) = \frac{50}{40} = \frac{5}{4} }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \theta = { \tan }^{ - 1} ( \frac{5}{4}) }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \theta = 51.3 \degree}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: direction : \:{ \green{N }}\: 51.3 \degree \: { \green{ E }}}}}$

A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity of 10.0m/s collides with a wall .if after the collision it moves with a velocity of 2

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

-1.2 kg - m/s

Explanation:

$\pink{\frak{Given}}\begin{cases}\textsf{ A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity of 10.0m/s collides with a wall .}\\\textsf{ After the collision it moves with a velocity of 2.0m/s in the opposite direction.}\end{cases}$

And we need to find out the change in momentum of the body . Here ,

velocity before collision (u) = 10m/s
velocity after collision (v) = 2m/s .

We know that momentum is defined as amount of motion contained in a body . Mathematically ,

$\sf\longrightarrow momentum (p)= mass(m) * velocity(v)$

Therefore change in momentum will be,

$\sf\longrightarrow \triangle p = mv - mu$

Since the direction of velocity changes after the collision , the velocity will be -2m/s .

$\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p = 100g( -2m/s -10m/s) \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p =\dfrac{100}{1000}kg ( -12m/s) \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p = 0.1 kg * -12m/s \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\bf \Delta p = -1.2 \ kg-m/s} \\$

As an airplane leaves the runway and goes into the air, has acceleration occurred?

malfutka [58]

A, yes because the plane is using air resistance and acceleration is increasing while it goes up. Although you don’t know speed, still yes.

The temperature at which all molecular motion stops is

34kurt

Answer:

Zero Kelvin

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is related to the absolute temperature of the gas by (for an ideal monoatomic gas):

$E_K = \frac{3}{2}kT$

where

k is the Boltzmann constant

T is the absolute temperature

The average kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the particles due to their motion; we see that this energy becomes zero when T = 0, which means when the substance reaches a temperature of zero Kelvin. Therefore, this means that at this temperature all the particles stop moving.
