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.

In world war 1 , Multiple reflection was used in submarines. How multiple reflection works and helps in such situation?
prisoha [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

Submarines use a device called Periscope that uses the concept of multiple reflections and help us see objects above the water surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a light ray falls on a reflecting surface like a mirror, it gets reflected.  In multiple reflections, the incident light ray is made to reflect multiple times by arranging the reflecting surfaces in different ways.

In submarines, we use Periscope, which is a long tube like structure. The long tube is bent at ends. It uses two simple mirrors which are placed parallel to each other at an angle of 45 degrees. The light from one mirror gets reflected to the other mirror, thus causing a multiple reflection.

If there is a 25 [lbs] of force acting on a 5 [lbs] of mass, what is the acceleration of that mass?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

f = 25 lbs

m = 5 lbs

a =?

f = ma

25 = 5 a( divide both sides by 5)

a = 5(lbs)
