Answer:
the action of measuring something.
Measurement is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity of the same kind. The value obtained on measuring a quantity is called its magnitude. Magnitude of a quantity is expressed as numbers in its units.
Answer:
0.37 m/s to the left
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved. Initial momentum = final momentum.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.
0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
Plugging in values and solving:
0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)
v = -0.37 m/s
The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.
Answer:
2.62seconds
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.
Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)
For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.
Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)
V = 2S/t
2S = vt
Given speed of the wave = 342m/s
Distance covered = 450m
t = 2S/v
t = (2×450)/343
t = 900/343
t = 2.62seconds
It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.
Answer:
Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4
Explanation:
A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :
We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"
It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,
R' = R/4
New centripetal acceleration will be,
So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
Answer:
Explanation:
The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.
Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:
Momentum = mass x velocity
Let us consider the momentum of the balls;
Substance C;
Mass = 1kg
Velocity = 5m/s
Momentum of C = 1 x 5 = 5kgm/s
Substance D:
Mass = 100kg
Velocity = 5m/s
Momentum of D = 100kg x 5m/s = 500kgm/s
Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.
The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.
