Answer:

3000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum, p is a product of mass and velocity hence

p=mv where m is mass and v is velocity.

Change in momentum is given by m(v_f-v_i) where subscripts f and i represent final and initial respectively. Since the lorry finally comes to rest then the final velocity is zero. Substituting the given figures then

Change in momentum= 6000(0-0.5)=-3000 kg.m/s

Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
mart [117]
<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>

In a semiclassical model of the hydrogen atom, the electron orbits the proton at a distance of 0.053 nm. Part A What is the elec
Bezzdna [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

r=0.053 nm=0.053\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Charge on proton,q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

a.We have to find the electric  potential of the proton at the position of the electron.

We know that the electric potential

V=\frac{kq}{r}

Where k=9\times 10^9

V=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

V=27.17 V

B.Potential energy of electron,U=\frac{kq_e q_p}{r}

Where

q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19} c=Charge on electron

q_p=q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C=Charge on proton

Using the formula

U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

U=-4.35\times 10^{-18} J

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the s
Bezzdna [24]

Hello!

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the spring?

0.57 m

0.64 m  

0.80 m  

1.25 m

Data:

E_{pe}\:(elastic\:potential\:energy) = 5184\:J

K\:(constant) = 16200\:N/m

x\:(displacement) =\:?

For a spring (or an elastic), the elastic potential energy is calculated by the following expression:

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

Where k represents the elastic constant of the spring (or elastic) and x the deformation or displacement suffered by the spring.

Solving:  

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

5184 = \dfrac{16200*x^2}{2}

5184*2 = 16200*x^2

10368 = 16200\:x^2

16200\:x^2 = 10368

x^{2} = \dfrac{10368}{16200}

x^{2} = 0.64

x = \sqrt{0.64}

\boxed{\boxed{x = 0.8\:m}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:  

The displacement of the spring = 0.8 m (or 0.80 m)

Corey, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. The scale reads 850 N for the first 3.0 s after the eleva
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

v₂ = 2.568 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of Corey = 95 Kg

reading of sale for first 3 s when elevator start to move = 850 N

scale reading for the next 3.0 s = 930 N

Gravitation force acting =

  F = m g

  F = 95 x 9.8

  F = 931 N

using newtons second law, due to movement of elevator

    F_{net} = m a

 W - N = m a₁

931- 850 = 95 x a₁

    a₁ = 0.852 m/s²

now,

velocity calculation

v₁ = a₁t

v₁ = 0.852 x 3 = 2.557 m/s

now, For second case

931 - 930 = 95 x a₂

a₂ = 0.011 m/s²

now, velocity after 4 s

v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t

v₂ = 2.557+ 0.011 x (4 - 3)

(4-3) because velocity after 3 second is calculate we need to calculate velocity after 4 s from beginning.

v₂ = 2.557 + 0.011

v₂ = 2.568 m/s

velocity of the elevator is equal to v₂ = 2.568 m/s
