Answer:
Scalar quantity can never be Negative. Because scalar has only magnitude not direction. And magnitude can't be negative.
Explanation:
Answer:
2000 kg m/s
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is a vector quantity whose magnitude is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
and its direction is the same as the velocity.
In this problem, we have:
- Spaceship 1 has
m = 200 kg (mass)
v = 0 m/s (zero velocity)
So its momentum is
- Spaceship 2 has
m = 200 kg (mass)
v = 10 m/s (velocity)
So its momentum is
Therefore, the combined momentum of the two spaceships is
Balancing.
When the same force is applied from both sides,the forces cancel out each other.
Answer:
b) there must be a component of force parallel to the motion of the object.
Explanation:
We know that work done on a body by an external force is calculated by the formula given below:
W = F.d = Fd Cos θ
where,
W = Work Done by the force on the body
F = Magnitude of force
d = displacement of the body
θ = The angle between the direction of motion of the body and the force applied
It is clear from the formula of the work done, that "F Cosθ" represents the component of the force, that is acting in the direction of motion of the object or parallel to the direction of motion of the object. So, if there is no component of force parallel to motion of object, then this factor will become zero. As a result, the work done will also be zero.
Therefore, the correct option will be:
b) <u>there must be a component of force parallel to the motion of object.</u>
