A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.

Air is being blown into a spherical balloon at the rate of 1.68 in.3/s. Determine the rate at which the radius of the balloon is
NISA [10]

Answer: 0.006in/s

Explanation:

Let the rate at which air is being blown into a spherical balloon be dV/dt which is 1.68in³/s

Also let the rate at which the radius of the balloon is increasing be dr/dt

Given r = 4.7in and Π = 3.14

Applying the chain rule method

dV/dt = dV/dr × dr/dt

If the volume of the sphere is 4/3Πr³

V = 4/3Πr³

dV/dr = 4Πr²

If r = 4.7in

dV/dr = 4Π(4.7)²

dV/dr = 277.45in²

Therefore;

1.68 = 277.45 × dr/dt

dr/dt = 1.68/277.45

dr/dt = 0.006in/s

A force of 20 N acts toward the east. Another force of 27 N acts at the same point toward the west. What is the magnitude and di
Jet001 [13]
Since we are working in one dimension (left right or East West), we don't need to worry about angles! It's just simply a matter of adding things up!

First list out all the forces and add negative (-ive) signs to each of the 'west' forces like this.

20 East + (-27 West) + ? = 10 East

so it's easy to see that 20 + (-27) = -7
So to get to 10 from -7 just do the sum to get 17.
Since 17 is not negative it must be in the direction of East.
So the answer is:
Magnitude = 17 N
Direction = toward the East
