If the velocity of a moving object decreases from 60 m/s to 30 m/s, what happens to its momentum?

Hello!

momentum is p=mv so if the velocity is decreased by a factor of 2, which is 1/2 the value, then the momentum of that object will decrease by the same factorial.

Hope this helps, any questions please ask. Thank you!

Qualitatively the momentum is the amount of motion contained in the body.

Quantitatively momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body.

Mathematically momentum= mass×velocity

                                       i.e p=m×v

where p denotes the momentum.

As per the question the initial velocity of the particle is given as [u]=60 m/s

The final velocity of the particle is given as [v]=30 m/s

Let the mass of the particle is m kg

The initial momentum p_{1} =m*u

                                                  =60m kg m/s

the final momentum p_{2} =m*v

                                                   =30m kg m/s

Hence the change in momentum is given as -

                                   p_{2} -p_{1} =[30m -60m] kg m/s

                                                              = -30m kg m/s

Here the minus sign indicates the loss of momentum

Hence the momentum is decreased by twice as the velocity is decreased by twice.

In general if velocity is decreased by m times ,then the momentum is decreased by m times also.

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.

Compare and contrast electric potential energy and electric potential difference? Explain.
forsale [732]

Answer:

<u><em>Electric Potential Energy:</em></u>

The energy that is needed to move a charge against an electric firld is called Electric Potential Energy

<u><em>Electric Potential Difference:</em></u>

The amount of work done in carrying a unit charge from one point to an other in an electric field is called Electric Potential Difference.

<u><em>Relation:</em></u>

Relation between Electric potential and electrical potential energy is given by

\delta V=\frac{PE}{q}

Here PE represents Electric potential energy

and \delta V is Electric potential difference

it means electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential energy divided by the charge.

What is power?
hammer [34]
We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.


Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire
