What is the momentum of an object that is moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s and has a mass of 10 kilograms?

1 answer:

8 0

The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
$p=mv$
where m is the mass and v the velocity.

For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
$p=mv=(10 kg)(10 m/s)=100 kg m/s$
So, the correct answer is B).

stira [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the brick, m = 1.15 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 1.44 m

The cable will break if the tension exceeds 43.0 N

Let v is the maximum sped can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break. At the bottom of the circle, the net force is equal to the centripetal force along with the weight of the brick. So,

$T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg$

$\dfrac{T}{m}-g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{T}{m}-g)r}$

$v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{43}{1.15}-9.8)\times 1.44}$

v = 6.30 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the brick at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break is 6.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

If we are looking for evidence of something that exists outside of our visible Universe and leaves no trace within it, it seems that the idea of a Multiverse is fundamentally untestable. But there are all sorts of things that we cannot observe that we know must be true. Decades before we directly detected gravitational waves, we knew that they must exist, because we observed their effects.
