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

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h
Luda [366]

Disagree

Explanation:

Fluoresce objects will glow when put under Ultraviolet light as the molecules are excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules

A metal sphere of radius 2.0 cm carries an excess charge of 3.0 μC. What is the electric field 6.0 cm from the center of the sph
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The electric field is  E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the metal sphere is  R = 2.0 \ cm  =  0.02 \ m

     The excess charge which the metal sphere carries is  q =  3.0 \mu C  =  3.0*10^{-6} \ C

      The distance of the position being to the center is D = 6.0 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

       The coulomb constant is   k =9*10^{9} \  N \cdot m^2 /C^2

Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as  

        E = \frac{k *  q}{D^2}

substituting values

        E = \frac{9*10^{9} *  30.*10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}

      E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

10. A girl pulls a wagon along a level path for a distance of 44 m. The handle of
Rina8888 [55]

The work done on the wagon is 3549 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force when moving an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem we have the following data:

F = 87 N is the magnitude of the force

d = 44 m is the displacement of the wagon

\theta=22^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

Substituting, we find the work done

W=(87)(44)(cos 22^{\circ})=3549 J

A disk is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed at first. Let the turntable spin faster and faster, with const
hoa [83]

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.
