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.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is only one-sixth of that on Earth. If we hit a baseball on the moon with the same effort(and at the speed and angle)that we would on earth, the ball would land 6 times as far. The ball on the moon will cover 6 times more distance than Earth.

Explanation:

Speed=distance travelled/Time required speed

Speed=d/t

Acceleration of gravity on earth=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration of gravity on Moon=1.62 m/s^2

So the maximum height of ball will be the ration of these both gravity.

395,000 meters in 9000
marta [7]

Answer:

43.88 meters per second

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below:

As we know that

Speed = \frac{Distance}{time}

where,

Distance is 395,000 meters

Time is 9,000 seconds

Now placing these values to the formula

So, the speed is

= \frac{395,000}{9,000}

= 43.88 meters per second

As speed shows the relation between the distance and time and the same is to be considered i.e by applying the formula

In the annual battle of the dorms, students gather on the roofs of Jackson and Walton dorms to launch water balloons at each oth
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) The direction of the initial velocity of the first balloon is 18.5º

b) The initial speed of the second balloon is 19.1 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the vector position in a parabolic motion are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = vector position

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

a) At t = 1.80 s the vector r will be as shown in the figure (in yellow). The x-component of the vector r, rx, is 34.0 m and the y-component, ry, is -4.5 m. The reference system is located at the edge of the roof of the Jackson building.

Then, at 1.80 s, r will be:

r = (34.0 m, - 4.50 m)

Using the equations for each component we can obtain v0 and α:

Using the x- component:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α    

34.0 m = v0 · 1.80 s · cos α  (x0 = 0 because the origin of the reference system is located at the launching point)

34.0 m / (1.80 s · cos α) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-4.50 m = (34.0 m /cos α) · sin α + 1/2 · - (9.80 m/s²) · (1.80 s)²  

(sin α / cos α = tan α)

-4.50 m = 34.0 m · tan α - 1/2 · 9.80m/s² · (1.80 s)²  

solving for tan α

tan α = 0.334

α = 18.5º

The direction of the balloon´s initial velocity is 18.5º above the horizontal.

b) In green is the trajectory of the second balloon. r2 is the final vector of the second balloon and its components in x and y are 34 m and - 6 m (21 m- 15 m) respectively (see figure).

Then:

r2 = (34.0 m, - 6.00 m)   Now the reference system is located at the launching point of the second balloon.

We can proceed in the same way as in the point a) only that now we have the angle but do not have the time nor the initial velocity.

Using the equation of the x-component of vector r2:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

34.0 m = v0 · t · cos 18.5º

34.0 m /(t · cos 18.5º) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-6.00 m = 34.0 m · tan 18.5º - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

-2 (-6.00 m - 34 m · tan 18.5º) /  9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 1.88 s

Then, the speed will be:  

v0 = 34.0 m /(1.88 s · cos 18.5º) = 19.1 m/s
