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

Physics

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.

Which change would decrease the total current, I, flowing through this circuit?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

A. Increasing the voltage of the battery

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage, V, current, I and resistance, R, is given as follows;

V = I × R

∴ I = V/R

From the above relationship, the current flowing in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the battery, and inversely proportional to the resistance, 'R', of the circuit

Therefore, increasing the voltage, 'V', of the battery, increases the total current, 'I', flowing in the circuit.

g n diffraction, the formula for minima is given by a times s i n (theta )equals m lambda, where a is the width of the slit, the
ki77a [65]

Answer:

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

        a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength  λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit  a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

         sin  θ = m λ / a

         sin  θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

         sin  θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

          θ = sin⁻¹  0.378

         

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

          θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

         θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

         θ = 22.2º

A motorcycle is traveling east at a rate of 56mph.it take 6.7 s for it to decrease its speed to 35mph. How far does the motorcyc
Phantasy [73]
Initial speed = 56mph
Final speed = 35mph

Time taken = 6.7seconds...

Converting the time to hour.. Divide by 3600..
= 6.7/3600

=0.00186hour..

Acceleration = v-u/t

a = 35-56/0.00186
a = -11283.6mph²

The negative sign shows that it decelerated...

V² = u²+2as

(35)² = (56)² + 2×-11283.6×s
Where s is the distance covered within that time...

1225 = 3136 - 22567.2s

22567.2s = 3136-1225

22567.2s = 1911

S = 1911/22567.2

S = 0.08468miles...

But at the end of the question we were made to understand that 1miles = 5280ft

Therefore 0.08468miles = (0.08468×5280)ft

= 447. 11feets...

Which is approximately 447ft.....


Hope this helped.... ?

PLEASE HELP! 2ND TIME I ASKED THIS!!!
Goshia [24]

The train is moving at 50 m/s and Emma is walking down the aisle with 1 m/s speed in the same direction of train. The relative velocity of Emma with respect to other passengers pf the train would be 1 m/s. This is because, the train is not moving relative to them and only emma is moving at 1 m/s. If a person observes from outside, Emma would have (50 +1) m/s = 51 m/s velocity.

relative velocity when two objects are moving in same direction as oberved from outside observer:

v_{ab}=v_a+v_b

relative velocity when two objects are moving in the opposite directionas oberved from outside observer:

v_{ab}=v_a-v_b
