The impulse required to decrease the speed of the boat is equal to the variation of momentum of the boat:
J=\Delta p=m \Delta v
where
m=225 kg is the mass of the boat
\Delta v=v_f-v_i=15 m/s-21 m/s=-6 m/s is the variation of velocity of the boat
By substituting the numbers into the first equation, we find the impulse:
J=m\Delta v=(225 kg)(-6 m/s)=-1350 N s
and the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is against the direction of motion of the boat.

An elementary particle of mass m completely absorbs a photon, after which its mass is 1.01m. (a) what was the energy of the inco
sdas [7]
A.) We use the famous equation proposed by Albert Einstein written below:

E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy of the photon
Δm is the mass defect, or the difference of the mass before and after the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s

Substituting the value:

E = (1.01m - m)*(3×10⁸ m/s) = 0.01mc² = 3×10⁶ Joules

b) The actual energy may be even greater than 3×10⁶ Joules because some of the energy may have been dissipated. Not all of the energy will be absorbed by the photon. Some energy would be dissipated to the surroundings.

Consider a force of 750 n (roughly the weight of an adult human). over what area (in cm2) would this force need to be applied in
polet [3.4K]
p = \frac{f}{a}
P=25x10^6 andF=750.So plug in everything to solve for A. which is 3x10^-5m^2 OR 0.3mm^2

A wheel completes 5.6 revolutions in 8 seconds.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

86.15\pi rad/min

Explanation: Angular velocity is the number of revolutions made per unit time.

We convert the number of revolutions to radians and the time given in seconds to minutes,

Given;

1rev=2\pi rad\\therefore\\5.6rev=5.6*2\pi rad\\= 11.2\pi rad

Also,

60s = 1 min

hence

8s=\frac{8}{60}min\\=0.13min

We now divide the number of revolution in radians by the time in minutes.

\omega =\frac{11.2\pi}{0.13min}\\\omega=86.15\pi rad/min

A cylindrical tank of methanol has a mass of 40 kgand a volume of 51 L. Determine the methanol’s weight, density,and specific gr
mezya [45]

Answer:

Weight  W = 392.4 N

Density  \rho = 784.31 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

Specific gravity S = 0.78431

Force required F = 10 N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass (m) = 40 kg

Volume (V) = 0.051 m^{3}

Weight W = m × g

⇒ W = 40 × 9.81

⇒ W = 392.4 N

This is the weight of the methanol.

Density \rho = \frac{mass }{volume}

⇒ \rho = \frac{40}{0.051}

⇒ \rho = 784.31 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

This is the density of the methanol.

Specific gravity (S) = \frac{\rho}{\rho_{water} }

⇒ S = \frac{784.31}{1000}

⇒ S = 0.78431

This is the specific gravity of the methanol.

Force needed to accelerate this tank F = ma

⇒ F = 40 × 0.25

⇒ F = 10 N

This is the force required to accelerate the tank.
