Tony (of mass 45 kg) coasts on his bicycle (of mass 20 kg) at a constant speed of 7 m/s, carrying a 7 kg pack. Tony throws his p

ack forward, in the direction of his motion, at 5 m/s relative to the speed of bicycle just before the throw. What is the initial momentum of the system (Tony, the bicycle, and the pack)? Answer in units of kg · m/s.

Answer:

504 kg m/s

Explanation:

The total mass of the system (Tony, the bicycle, and the pack) is

M = 45 + 20 + 7 = 72 kg

Since momentum is defined as the product of mass and its speed. The total momentum of the system initially (before throwing the pack) when Tony is coasting at a speed of 7 m/s is:

P = MV = 72 * 7 = 504 kg m/s

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

The question requires to know who is traveling faster. This is done by comparing the gradients. The steeper the slope (high gradient), the faster the speed and vice versa.

From Jari's line, the starting point is (0, 0) and another point is (6, 7)

The gradient being change in y to change in x

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 7/6

For Jade, first point is (0, 10) then another point is (6, 16)

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 6/6=1

Clearly, 7/6 is greater than 6/6 or 1 hence Jari is faster than Jade

If the force of gravity between a book of mass 0.50 kg and a calculator of 0.100 kg is 1.5 × 10-10 N, how far apart are they?  (
valkas [14]
The gravitational force between two masses m₁ and m₂ is
F=G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{d^{2}}
where
G = 6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²), the gravitational constant
d =  distance between the masses.

Given:
F = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
m₁ = 0.50 kg
m₂ = 0.1 kg

Therefore
1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ N = (6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))*[(0.5*0.1)/(d m)²]
d² = [(6.67408x10⁻¹¹)*(0.5*0.1)]/1.5x10⁻¹⁰
     = 0.0222
d = 0.1492 m = 149.2 mm

Answer: 149.2 mm

If it takes an airplane 15 minutes to go from 30 mph to 330 mph, what is its acceleration?
zzz [600]
Using the a=vf-vi divided by tf-ti:
A is acceleration
Vf is final velocity- 330
Vi is intial velocity-30
Tf is final time-15
Ti is initial time-0
A = 330-30 divided by 15-0
A = 300 divided by 15
A= 20 m/s^2 
Hope this helps

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles call
nevsk [136]

Answer:

sediments

Explanation:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles called:

                 sediments

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decay of rocks into smaller fragments to produce sediments. The product of rock weathering is basically sediments. Some of the sediments can be transformed to form soils when they combine with organic matter, water and air.

Physical weathering is when rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces, but the minerals in  the rock remain the same.

             Physical weathering

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller bits without altering the chemical make up of the minerals. The goal of physical weathering is to expose rock surface to action of chemical weathering.

When a rock is broken down in a way that changes the mineral composition, it is called  chemical weathering

          chemical weathering

Chemical weathering is the decay of rocks by altering the minerals in a rock.

The process of changing a property of a wave to transmit information is called .
BARSIC [14]

Answer : The process of changing a property of a wave to transmit information is called Modulation.

Explanation :

Modulation is the process of changing the property of wave to transmit information. This is done with the help of modulator.

In modulation, the message signal is superimposed on a high frequency signal. A sine wave ( usually high frequency ) is used as a high frequency carrier wave.

Modulation can be done in many ways like :

(1) Frequency modulation

(2) Amplitude modulation

(3) Pulse modulation
