2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it
Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.
Hope this helps :)
Definition: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:
Divide each side
by 'mass' : <span>Momentum / mass = Speed </span>
Did you follow that ?
<span>Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.</span>
Answer:
Maximum height of rocket = 2538.74 m
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
For first 5 seconds
s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m
Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.
We have the equation of motion v = u + at
After 5 seconds velocity of rocket
v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s
After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.
Time of flying after 5 seconds

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s
s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m
Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m
