Answer:

mass of the person walking to west is 65 kg.

Given:

Momentum = 52 $\frac{kg m}{s}$

Speed = 0.8 $\frac{m}{s}$

To find:

Mass of the person = ?

Formula used:

Momentum is given by,

P = m × v

Where, P = momentum

m = mass

v = speed

Solution:

Momentum is given by,

P = m × v

Where, P = momentum

m = mass

v = speed

Mass = $\frac{P}{v}$

m = $\frac{52}{0.8}$

m = 65 kg

Thus, mass of the person walking to west is 65 kg.

faltersainse [42]

m = mass = 5 kg

$v_{i}$ = initial velocity = 100 m/s

$v_{f}$ = final velocity = ?

I = impulse = 30 Ns

Using the impulse-change in momentum equation

I = m( $v_{f}$ - $v_{i}$ )

30 = 5 ( $v_{f}$ - 100)

$v_{f}$ = 106 m/s

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

When s = Db, t = 2t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db$

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 25.1 Power and Energy in Circuits. A device for heating a cup of water in a car connects to

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The time to boil the water is 877 s

Explanation:

The first thing we must do is calculate the external resistance (R) of the circuit, from the description we notice that it is a series circuit, by which the resistors are added

V = i (r + R)

We replace we calculate

r + R = V / i

R = v / i - r

R = 10/12 -0.04

R = 0.793 Ω

We calculate the power supplied

P = V i = I² R

P = 12² 0.793

P = 114 W

This is the power dissipated in the external resistance

We use the relationship, that power is work per unit of time and that work is the variation of energy

P = E / t

t = E / P

t = 100 10³/114

t = 877 s

The time to boil the water is 877 s

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg
