Explanation:
a) Density is the amount of mass in a specific amount of volume
b) Some substances are less dense than water so will float and vice versa
c) The wooden plank has less density than water due to having larger volume and vice versa with the wooden block since volume and density are inversely proportional
II) (a) They are all metals
(b) water -> Compound
oxygen -> Element
Gold-> Element
Salt-> Compound
Answer:
Momentum of system = 37.2 Kgm/s.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
- Mass A = 5 kg
- Velocity A = 6 m/s
- Mass B = 12 kg
- Velocity B = 0.6 m/s
To find the momentum of the system;
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
Momentum = mass * velocity
<u>For object A;</u>
Momentum A = 5 * 6
Momentum A = 30 Kgm/s
<u>For object B;</u>
Momentum B = 12 * 0.6
Momentum B = 7.2 Kgm/s
Next, we would determine the momentum of this system using the formula;
Momentum of system = Momentum A + Momentum B
Substituting the values into the formula, we have;
Momentum of system = 30 + 7.2
<em>Momentum of system = 37.2 Kgm/s.</em>
