A 25N force is acting on a body moving on a straight line with Initial momentum 20 kam's. Find the final momentum after 4 second
1 answer:
The final momentum of the body is equal to 120 Kg.m/s.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>Momentum can be described as the multiplication of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity as it carries magnitude and direction.
If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity then the object's momentum p is: . The S.I. unit of measurement of momentum is kg⋅m/s, which is equivalent to the N.s.
Given the initial momentum of the body = Pi = 20 Kg.m/s
The force acting on the body, Pf = 25 N
The time, Δt = 4-0 = 4s
The Force is equal to the change in momentum: F ×Δt = ΔP
25 × 4 = P - 20
100 = P - 20
P = 100 + 20 = 120 Kg.m/s
Therefore, the final momentum of a body is 120 Kg.m/s.

Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
When a stone is thrown straight-up, it has an initial velocity which decreases gradually as the stone move to maximum height due to constant acceleration due to gravity acting downward on the stone, at the maximum height the final velocity of the stone is zero. As the stone descends the velocity starts to increase and becomes maximum before it hits the ground.
Height of the motion is given by;
g is acceleration due to gravity which is constant
H is height traveled
u is the speed of throw, which determines the value of height traveled.
Therefore, when the stone is caught at the same height from which it was thrown in the absence of air resistance, the speed of the stone when thrown will be equal to the speed when caught.
