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.

Two charges, each q, are separated by a distance r, and exert mutual attractive forces of F on each other. If both charges becom

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

we substitute

F = k 4q² / 9 r²

F = k q² r² 4/9

F = ⅔ F₀

A ray of light bends upon entering a new medium. What is this phenomenon called?

Ainat [17]

Refraction is a phenomenon which results when a ray of light enters from one medium to another medium. When a ray of light enters from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. The laws of refraction are: The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

Ballon volume of 3200ml of xenon gas is at a gauge pressure of 122kPa and a temperature of 27c. What is the volume when the ball

N76 [4]

Given:

The initial volume of the gas, V₁=3200 ml=3.2×10⁻³ m³

The initial pressure of the gas, P₁=122 kPa

The initial temperature of the gas, T₁=27 °C=300 K

The final temperature, T₂=65 °C=338 K

The final pressure, P₂=112 kPa

To find:

The final volume of xenon gas.

Explanation:

From the combined gas law,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Where V₂ is the volume after it is heated.

On rearranging the above equation,

$V_2=\frac{T_2P_1V_1}{T_1P_2}$

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} V_2=\frac{338\times112\times10^3\times3.2\times10^{-3}}{300\times112\times10^3} \\ =3.61\text{ m}^3 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

The volume of the balloon when it is heated is 3.61 m³
