The kinetic energies of a light and a heavy body are equivalent. The momentum is greater for the light body.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is characterized as the intensity of a body's motion. As momentum depends on both velocity and the direction of the body's motion, it is quantified by "mass velocity". Since velocity is a vector and mass is a scalar, momentum is a vector quantity.

As a result of its higher mass, a heavy object will move with more momentum. Only when the average speed of the heavy particles is lower than that of the light particles will the average kinetic energy of the light particles equal the average kinetic energy of the heavy particles.

At the same temperature and pressure, lighter gases will move more quickly than heavier ones. 0K on the Kelvin scale denotes that the particles are not moving.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

Calculate the amount of charge necessary to exert a force of 35 N in an electric field of 300 N/C.
densk [106]

Answer:

The amount of charge is "0.117 C" i.e., option A.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

\vec{F} = 35 N

Electric field,

\vec{E} = 300 N/C

Charge,

q = ?

As we know,

⇒  \vec{F}=q\vec{E}

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

⇒  35=q\times 300

⇒   q=\frac{35}{300}

⇒   q=0.117 \ C

Which of the following scenarios will cause the current to stop flowing within a current​
ella [17]

Answer:

The switch within the closed circuit is opened and it stops the flow of current in a circuit.

Explanation:

  • Current is defined as a flow of electrons in a system or a circuit.
  • There are two basic things needed for current to flow in a system
  • One is the electro-motive force and the other is the complete path for current to flow.
  • If a switch in a closed circuit gets opened, it restricts the path of current flow.
  • Thus it stops the current to be flowed through the circuit.
