A particle moving at speed 0.32 c has momentum P₀. the speed of the particle is increased to 0.72 c then its momentum would be 2.25P₀.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

It can be defined as the product of the mass and the speed of the particle, it represents the combined effect of mass and the speed of any particle, and the momentum of any particle is expressed in Kg m/s unit.

Mathematically the formula of the momentum is

P = mv

where P is the momentum of the particle

m is the mass of the particle

v is the velocity by which the particle is moving

As given in the question a particle moving at speed 0.32 c has momentum P₀. the speed of the particle is increased to 0.72 c

by using the formula of the momentum and substituting the values of the velocity

P =mv

As mentioned in the question when the particle is moving with 0.32c velocity it has a momentum of P₀

P₀ = m*(0.32c)

If the speed of the particle is increased to 0.72 c the momentum would be

P=m*(0.72c)

by dividing the second equation from the first one

P₀/P = 0.32c/0.72c

P₀/P = 0.44

P =2.25P₀

Thus, the increased momentum of the particle would be 2.25P₀

A small ball is attached to one end of a spring that has an unstrained length of 0.169 m. The spring is held by the other end, a
Nadya [2.5K]

The ball moves around in circular motion. The centripetal force keeping it in circular motion is given by:

F = mv²/r

F = centripetal force, m = mass of ball, v = velocity of ball, r = radius of motion

The force the spring exerts on the ball is given by:

F = kΔx

F = spring force, k = spring constant, Δx = change of spring length

The spring provides the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion, so set the spring force equal to the centripetal force:

kΔx = mv²/r

Let's do some algebra:

m/k = rΔx/v²

Now if we attach the same spring to the ceiling with the ball still fixed to one end and let the ball hang in static equilibrium, the spring force would balance the ball's weight:

kΔx' = mg

k = spring constant, Δx' = new change in spring length, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Let's do some more algebra:

Δx' = gm/k

Substitute m/k with our previous result, rΔx/v²:

Δx' = grΔx/v²

Given values:

g = 9.81m/s²

r = 0.169m + 0.0131m = 0.1821m

Δx = 0.0131m

v = 3.15m/s

Plug in the values and solve for Δx':

Δx' = 9.81(0.1821)(0.0131)/3.15²

Δx' = 0.0024m
