You accelerate your 1500 Kg car from 2 m/s to 12 m/s in 2 seconds. How do you determine

Physics

1) The acceleration

Acceleration = Change in Speed / Time
Acceleration = (12 - 2) / 2
Acceleration = 10 / 2
Acceleration = 5m/s^2 (This is the unit for acceleration)

2) Initial momentum

Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Momentum = 1500 x 2
Momentum = 3000kg m/s (This is the unit for momentum)

3) Final momentum

Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Momentum = 1500 x 12
Momentum = 18000kg m/s

4) Change in momentum

Change in momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum
Change in momentum = 18000 - 3000
Change in momentum = 15000kg m/s

5) Force

Force = Mass x Acceleration
Force = 1500 x 5
Force = 7500N (This is the unit for force)

Hope that helps :)

I need to explain how objects can have the same volume but different mass. Help??
kaheart [24]
No problem, and you already know all about it.

Here are a few examples of same volume / different weight:

-- A bottle full of water is heavier than the same bottle when it's full of air.
-- Stones are heavier than styrofoam chunks the same size.
-- A bowl of meat loaf is heavier than a bowl of scrambled eggs.

In each example, two things have the same volume, but one weighs more than
the other.  I didn't say anything about mass yet, but that's easy:  As long as you
keep everything on Earth, more weight means more mass.

So how come, in each example, things with the same volume have different mass ?
This was your original question.

The answer is just the simple fact that there are millions of different substances, and
each different substance packs a different amount of mass into the same volume.

The amount of mass that a substance packs into a standard volume is called
the <em>density</em> of the substance.  Meat loaf is more dense than scrambled eggs.
Stone is more dense than styrofoam.  Water is more dense than air.  And <em>gold</em>
is 19 times as dense as water.  If you have a jar that holds a pound of water, and
you pour out the water and fill the jar with gold, the same jar holds 19 pounds of gold,
because the density of gold is 19 times the density of water.

The reason you were assigned to think about this question for homework is that
next time your Physics class meets, you'll start talking about <em>Density. </em><em /> And you're
all ready for it now.

When is something weightless
valkas [14]

The phenomenon of "weightlessness" occurs when there is no force of support on your body. When your body is effectively in "free fall", accelerating downward at the acceleration of gravity, then you are not being supported.

A certain electric dipole consists of charges q and –q separated by distance d, oriented along the x-axis as shown in the figure
Anna71 [15]

Electric field due to a point charge is given by formula

E = \frac{kq}{r^2 + \frac{d^2}{4}}

now due to negative charge also the magnitude of electric field will be same

only difference is the direction of field due to negative charge is radially inwards

now we can say that net field due to these two charges is given as

E = 2E_0cos\theta

E = 2\frac{kq}{r^2 + \frac{d^2}{4}}*\frac{d/2}{\sqrt{r^2 + \frac{d^2}{4}}}

E = \frac{kqd}{(r^2 + \frac{d^2}{4})^1.5}

now it is given that distance r is very large than "d" so we can say

E = \frac{kqd}{r^3}

<em>so above is the electric field due to dipole</em>
