A particle moving at speed 0. 32 c has momentum p0. the speed of the particle is increased to 0. 72 c. what is its momentum now?

1 answer:

6 0

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

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?

ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.
