Can objects in a system have momentum while the momentum of the system is zero? explain your answer.

Yes.  Momentum is a vector, so several non-zero momenta can add up to zero.  Consider for a simple example a mass of 10kg moving to the right at 5m/s, and another mass of 10kg moving to the left at 5m/s.  These momenta each have a magnitude equal to 50 kg m/s but have opposite sign and so the total system's momentum is zero.

Cual sera el caudal que lleva un rio cuando se desplaza a 200 litros cada 40 segundos
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Q = 5 L/s

Explanation:

To find the flow you use the following formula (para calcular el caudal usted utiliza la siguiente formula):

Q=\frac{V}{t}

V: Volume (volumen) = 200L

t: time (tiempo) = 40 s

you replace the values of the parameters to calculate Q (usted reemplaza los valores de los parámteros V y t para calcular el caudal):

Q=\frac{200L}{40s}=5\frac{L}{s}

Hence, the flow is 5 L/s (por lo tanto, el caudal es de 5L/s)

What is a period in physics?<br>​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.

Billiard ball A (0.35 kg) is struck such that it moves at 10 m/s toward a second identical ball (Ball B) initially at rest. Afte
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum during the collision of ball A and B .

Total momentum before collision of A and B = .35 x 10 = 3.5 kg m/s

Let the velocity of B after collision be v .

Total momentum after collision  = .35 x 2 + .35v

According to law of conservation of momentum

.35 x 2 + .35v  = 3.5

.35 v = 2.8

v = 8 m /s .

The direction of B will be same as direction of A .

The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth’s magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5T, collide with molecules of t
ollegr [7]

Answer:

8.79*10^6 rad/s

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the circular orbit for an electron you use the following expression, for the radius of the trajectory of an electron, that travels trough a constant magnetic field:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}         (1)

r: radius of the trajectory

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

v: speed of the electron = 1.0*10^6 m/s

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 5.0*10^-5 T

You use the fact that the angular frequency in a circular motion is given by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

Then, you solve the equation (1) in order to obtain v/r:

\frac{v}{r}=\omega=\frac{qB}{m}

Finally, you replace the values of the parameters:

\omega=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(5.0*10^{-5}T)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}\\\\\omega=8.79*10^6\frac{rad}{s}

hence, the angular frequency is 8.79*10^6 rad/s

The frequency is:

f=2\pi \omega=5.5*10^7Hz
