Answer:

3000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum, often denoted as p, is the product of mass and velocity defined by p=mv where m is mass and v is velocity.

The change in momentum is described by m(v_f-v_i) where f and i denote final and initial states respectively. As the lorry comes to a halt, its final speed is zero. By substituting the provided values, we find that

Change in momentum= 6000(0-0.5)=-3000 kg.m/s

Yuliya22 [2968]
To tackle this problem, it's essential to employ concepts associated with force as per Hooke's law, alongside the forces described by Newton's second law and the concept of potential elastic energy. Since the forces are in equilibrium, the spring force matches the gravitational force. To find the spring constant k, we recognize the compression is 40cm at launch, hence applying the potential elastic energy formula results in determining the energy stored in the spring as 63.72 Joules.

The acceleration due to gravity for any object, including 1 washer on the string, is always assumed to be m/s2. The mass of 3 wa
Keith_Richards [2911]

Answer:

The force will rise in direct relation to the mass of the objects

Explanation:

The gravitational acceleration remains constant. It is measured in meters per second squared or m/s². The average value is 9.81 m/s², calculated from observations made on varying surfaces. In reality, the acceleration can vary based on the geographical shape of the Earth relative to the earth's magnetic field and gravitational force.

For instance, if a single washer weighs 20 kg, with the gravity at 9.81 m/s², the weight would be:

F = ma

  = 20 * 9.81\\= 196.2 N

If there are three washers, the total weight calculates as:

F = 3 * 20 * 9.81

  = 588.6 N

To avoid an accident, a driver steps on the brakes to stop a 1000-kg car traveling at 65km/h. if the braking distance is 35 m, h
Maru [2984]
Initially, we need to calculate the acceleration required for the car to halt from its initial speed based on the distance traveled. This can be done using the formula,
                                             2ad = Vf² - Vi²
where a represents acceleration, d is distance, and Vf and Vi are the final and initial speeds respectively. Plugging in the known quantities,
           2(a)(35 m) = (0 m/s)² - ((65 km/h) x (1000 m/ 1 km) x (1 hr / 3600 s))²
The resulting acceleration is −4.66 m/s².
To calculate the force required to stop the car, we multiply the mass by the acceleration. This calculation yields -4,660 N, and we take the absolute value, which is 4,660 N.

An electron moves in a region where the magnetic field is uniform and has a magnitude of 80 μT. The electron follows a helical p
Softa [2683]

Answer:

3.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Analyze the circular path of the electron

B = magnetic field = 80 x 10⁻⁶ T

m = mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v  = speed in the radial direction

r = radius of the circular trajectory = 2 mm = 0.002 m

q = charge of an electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

For the electron’s circular movement

qBr = mv

(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (80 x 10⁻⁶) (0.002) = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) v

v = 2.8 x 10⁴ m/s

Now, consider the electron's movement in a straight line:

v' = speed in linear motion

x = distance traveled horizontally = 9 mm = 0.009 m

t = duration = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} = \frac{2\pi (9.1\times 10^{-31})}{(1.6\times 10^{^{-19}})(80\times 10^{-6})} = 4.5 x 10⁻⁷ sec

Using the formula

x = v' t

0.009 = v' (4.5 x 10⁻⁷)

v' = 20000 m/s

v' = 2 x 10⁴ m/s

The resultant speed is given by

V = sqrt(v² + v'²)

V = sqrt((2.8 x 10⁴)² + (2 x 10⁴)²)

v = 3.4 x 10⁴ m/s
