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.

Using the equation for decay, calculate the amount left of a radioactive sample amount N0 if the decay constant is 0.00125 secon
makkiz [27]

The amount left of a radioactive sample amount N0 if the decay constant is 0.00125 seconds and the time is 180 seconds is 0.7999 N.

<h3>What is half-life?</h3>

The time it takes for half of the original population of radioactive atoms to decay is called the half-life. The relationship between the half-life T1/2 and the decay constant is given by T1/2 = 0.693/λ.

  1. N=N0e−λt
  2. given λ = 0.00125 seconds
  3. t = 180 seconds
  4. Now putting values.
  5. N=N0e−λt = 0.799
  6. N= 0.7999.

Two point charges each carrying a charge of + 4.5 E - 6 C are located 4.5 meters away from each other. How strong is the electro
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other

A track coach records how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters the track coach is recording what dimension of behavior
melamori03 [73]
Behavior has at least six dimensions, which are: frequency, duration, latency, topography, locus, and force. Since the coach is recording how long it takes, the track coach is recording the duration behavior because duration is a synonym for time. Duration is your answer.
