Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer

1 answer:

5 0

First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.

An elevator traveled 15 floors (150 ft) at a speed of 4.5 m/s. What additional information is needed to determine the velocity o

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion.
