P=mv
<span>p=480 (40)= 19 200 kg km/hr
Hope this helped! :3</span>

Momentum (p) = mass × velocity

so, 480×40 = 19,200 kg km/hr

so the answer is C !!

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is descending steadily at a speed v0. After t seconds have elapsed, consider the fol

qaws [65]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that speed of package is same as that of helicopter in horizontal direction

So after time "t" the velocity in x direction will remain constant while in Y direction it will go free fall

So we have

$v_y = -gt$

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

Distance from helicopter is same as the distance of free fall

so we will have

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

If helicopter is rising upwards with uniform speed

then final speed of the package after time t is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

distance from helicopter

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

A roadway for stunt drivers is designed for racecars moving at a speed of 40 m/s. A curved section of the roadway is a circular

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Bank angle = 35.34o

Explanation:

Since the road is frictionless,

Tan (bank angle) = V^2/r*g

Where V = speed of the racing car in m/s, r = radius of the arc in metres and g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2

Tan ( bank angle) = 40^2/(230*9.81)

Tan (bank angle) = 0.7091

Bank angle = tan inverse (0.7091)

Bank angle = 35.34o

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

Zanzabum

(a) $3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa$

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

$p=\frac{I}{c}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

$I=1000 W/m^2$

and substituting $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we find the radiation pressure

$p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa$

(b) $4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

$A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2$

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

$F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N$

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

$m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

A teacher sets up a stand carrying a convex lens of focal length 15 cm at 20.5 cm mark on the optical bench. She asks the studen

Brums [2.3K]

We get the clearest image if there is no magnification. When we have no magnification the image and real object have the same size.
If we look at the diagram that I attached we can see that:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i}{d_0}$
Two triangles that I marked are similar and from this we get:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f}$
The image and the object must have the same height so we get:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f};h_i=h_0\\
1=\frac{d_i-f}{f}\\
d_i=2f$
This tells how far the screen should be from the lens.
The position of the screen on the optical bench is:
$S=20.5cm+2f=20.5+2\cdot 15cm=50.5cm$

The diagram shows Ned’s movement as he left his house and traveled to different places throughout the day. Which reference point

aleksley [76]

The pet store would be the reference point because it is where he started and it will not move. Hope this helped.
