An object with a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and a linear momentum (p) of 72 kg.m/s, has a mass (m) of 8 kg.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, or simply momentum, is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.

The mathematical expression for momentum is:

p = m . v

where,

p is the linear momentum of the object.
m is the mass of the object.
v is the velocity of the object.

An object has a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and its linear momentum (p) is 72 kg.m/s. We will use the definition of linear momentum to calculate the mass of the object.

p = m . v

m = p / v

m = (72 kg.m/s) / (9 m/s) = 8 kg

An object with a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and a linear momentum (p) of 72 kg.m/s, has a mass (m) of 8 kg.

The desert sand is very hot during the day and very cold at night. What does this tell you about its specific heat capacity?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.

How long does it take an airplane to fly 1200 miles if it maintains a speed of 300 miles per hour

sdas [7]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

To find the time taken we use the formula

$t = \frac{d}{v} \\$

where

d is the distance covered

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question

d = 1200 miles

v = 300 mi/hr

We have

$t = \frac{1200}{300} = \frac{12}{3} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A student heats a liquid on a burner. What happens to the portion of liquid that first begins to warm? Check all that apply.

kherson [118]

Answer:

The answers are options B,D and E

Explanation:

B) The particles in the liquid are slowly overcoming the forces of attraction and spreading out due to the thermal energy they are absorbing. This makes the liquid less dense as it slowly changes into a gas after reaching its boiling point.

D) The particles start absorbing the energy form the surroundings as latent heat of evaporation. They need this energy to overcome the strong forces of attraction between particles to change into the gaseous state

E) The particles have spaced out due to the thermal energy absorbed, making the liquid lighter and it rises upwards.
