Six automobiles are initially traveling at the indicated velocities. The automobiles have different masses and velocities. The d

rivers step on the brakes and all automobiles are brought to rest. Red Car: 1000kg, 10m/s Yellow Car: 2,000kg, 5m/s Blue Car: 500kg, 20m/s Light Blue Car: 1,000kg, 20m/s Green Car: 500kg, 10m/s Purple Car: 4,000kg, 5m/s Part A Rank these automobiles based on the magnitude of their momentum before the brakes are applied, from largest to smallest. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Answer:

Ranking the cars based on magnitude of momentum <em>(largest to smallest)</em>:

1. Purple, Light Blue

2. Red, Yellow, Blue

3. Green

Explanation:

Based on the given parameters ( mass and velocity), we can calculate the momentum of the various cars using the formula:

momentum = mass x velocity

1. Momentum of red car = 1000kg x 10m/s = 10,000Kgm/s

2. Momentum of Yellow car = 2000kg x 5m/s = 10,000Kgm/s

3. Momentum of blue car = 500kg x 20m/s = 10,000Kgm/s

4. Momentum of light blue car = 1000kg x 20m/s = 20,000Kgm/s

5. Momentum of green car = 500kg x 10m/s = 5,000Kgm/s

6. Momentum of purple car = 4000kg x 5m/s = 20,000Kgm/s

Hence,

Ranking the based on magnitude of momentum <em>(largest to smallest)</em> we have:

1. Purple, Light Blue

2. Red, Yellow, Blue

3. Green

The drag force F on a boat varies jointly with the wet surface area A of the boat and the square of the speed s of the boat. A b

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Wet surfaces areaA=+25.3ft^2

Explanation:

Using F= K×A× S^2

Where F= drag force

A= surface area

S= speed

Given : F=996N S=20mph A= 83ft^2

K = F/AS^2=996/(83×20^2)

K= 996/33200 = 0.03

1215= (0.03)× A × 18^2

1215=9.7A

A=1215/9.7=125.3ft^2

(HELP!!! 30 pts if answered right. )What formula gives the strength of an electric field, E, at a distance from a known source c

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$E=\frac{k\,Q}{d^2}$

Explanation:

The strength of an electric field E produced by a single charge Q at a distance d from it is given by the formula: $E=\frac{k\,Q}{d^2}$ , where K represents the Coulomb constant.

Since the electric field E is derived from the Coulomb Force per unit charge using a positive test charge, the field's units will be in units of Newtons/Coulomb, and be the formula for the Coulomb electric force between to charges (Q1 and Q2),

$F_C=k\frac{Q_1\,Q_2}{d^2}$

but modified with only one charge showing in the numerator of the expression.

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 14 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =

crimeas [40]

<u>Answer:</u>

Velocity of rock after 2 seconds = 6.56 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Here height of rock in meters, h = $14t-1.86t^2$

Comparing both the equations

We will get initial velocity = 14 m/s(already given) and $\frac{1}{2} a = -1.86$

So, Acceleration, a = -3.72 $m/s^2$

Now we have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

When time is 2 seconds we need to find final velocity.

v = 14 - 3.72 * 2 = 6.56 m/s.

So, Velocity of rock after 2 seconds = 6.56 m/s

A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing e

<h2>Answer: 117.626m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The escape velocity $V_{esc}$ is given by the following equation:

$V_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$M$ is the mass of the asteroid

$R$ is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand, we know the density of the asteroid is $\rho=3.84(10)^{8}g/m^{3}$ and its volume is $V=2.17(10)^{12}m^{3}$ .

The density of a body is given by:

$\rho=\frac{M}{V}$ (2)

Finding $M$ :

$M=\rhoV=(3.84(10)^{8} g/m^{3})(2.17(10)^{12}m^{3})$ (3)

$M=8.33(10)^{20}g=8.33(10)^{17}kg$ (4) This is the mass of the spherical asteroid

In addition, we know the volume of a sphere is given by the following formula:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\piR^{3}$ (5)

Finding $R$ :

$R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}$ (6)

$R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(2.17(10)^{12}m^{3})}{4\pi}}$ (7)

$R=8031.38m$ (8) This is the radius of the asteroid

Now we have all the necessary elements to calculate the escape velocity from (1):

$V_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(8.33(10)^{17}kg)}{8031.38m}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{esc}=117.626m/s$ This is the minimum initial speed the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never return back to the asteroid.

Please re-explain the following phrases in terms of momentum

zheka24 [161]

A. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force : The momentum of an object is constant unless an outside force acts on the object.

B. Force is defined as mass times acceleration : the rate of change of the momentum of a particle is proportional to the force F acting on it, hence the force is equal to <span>mass times acceleration.

C. </span>For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction : <span>to every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. </span>
