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

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ
melomori [17]

Complete question is;

A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 24 m/s. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of θ = 59◦ . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of ◦

Answer:

14.08°

Explanation:

The time covered will be given by the formula;

t = (2V_x•tan θ)/g

t = (2 × 24 × tan 59)/9.8

t = 8.152 s

Now, the slope of the flight path at the point of impact will be given by the formula;

tan α = V_y/V_x

We are given V_x = 24 m/s

V_y will be gotten from the formula;

v = gt

Thus;

V_y = gt

V_y = 9.8 × (8.152) = 78.89 m/s

Thus;

tan α = 78.89/24

tan α = 3.2871

α = tan^(-1) 3.2871

α = 73.08°

Thus ;

Relative angle φ = α - θ = 73.08 - 59 = 14.08°

Moving water, like that of a river, carries sediment as it moves along its bed. The faster the water flows, the more sediment th
katovenus [111]

Correct option: A

An object remains at rest until a force acts on it.

As the water moves faster, it applies greater force on the sediment, which over comes the frictional forces between the bed and the sediment. So, when the river flows faster, more and larger sediment particles are carried away. When the flow slows down, the river couldn't apply enough force on the larger sediments which can overcome the frictional force between the sediment and the river bed. So, the net force on the heavier particles become zero. Hence, the heavier particles of the load will settle out.

A distance of 2.00 mm separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is 0.0104 N, find the mass of
aleksklad [387]

Given the distance r = 2/1000 m, the force between them F = 0.0104 N, the mass of the two object can be calculated using formula:

F = G(m1m2)/r^2 since the mass are equal F = G (m^2)/r^2

And where G = is the gravitational constant (6.67E-11 m3 s-2 kg-1)

The mass of the two objects are 24.96 kg

A civil engineer wishes to redesign the curved roadway in the example What is the Maximum Speed of the Car? in such a way that a
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

24.3 degrees

Explanation:

A car traveling in circular motion at linear speed v = 12.8 m/s around a circle of radius r = 37 m is subjected to a centripetal acceleration:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{12.8^2}{37} = 4.43 m/s^2

Let α be the banked angle, as α > 0, the outward centripetal acceleration vector is split into 2 components, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the road. The one that is parallel has a magnitude of 4.43cosα and is the one that would make the car slip.

Similarly, gravitational acceleration g is split into 2 component, one parallel and the other perpendicular to the road surface. The one that is parallel has a magnitude of gsinα and is the one that keeps the car from slipping outward.

So gsin\alpha = 4.43cos\alpha

\frac{sin\alpha}{cos\alpha} = \frac{4.43}{g} = \frac{4.43}{9.81} = 0.451

tan\alpha = 0.451

\alpha = tan^{-1}0.451 = 0.424 rad = 0.424*180/\pi \approx 24.3^0
