Which object has the greatest momentum...and why

Physics

The formula for momentum is p=mv where p is the momentum (kgms-1), m is the mass (kg) and v is the velocity (ms-1). So, to work out the momentum, we just multiply these numbers together and work out which is the largest.

1) 12kgms-1
2) 10kgms-1
3) 27kgms-1
4) 16kgms-1

Therefore the object with the greatest momentum is 3 - a 9kg mass moving at 3m/s

Answer:

Object 3 has the greatest momentum, because the mass is small enough compared with the velocity of the object.

Explanation:

The momentum is defined as:

p = mv  (1)

                             

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Therefore, the value for the mass and velocity of each object can be replaced in equation 1:

                                 

<em>1) Case for m = 12  kg and v= 1 m/s</em>

p = (12kg)(1m/s)

p = 12kg.m/s

<em>2) Case for m = 5  kg and v= 2 m/s</em>

p = (5kg)(2m/s)

p = 10kg.m/s

<em>3) Case for m = 9  kg and v= 3 m/s</em>

       

p = (9kg)(3m/s)

     

p = 27kg.m/s

<em>4) Case for m = 4  kg and v= 4 m/s</em>

p = (4kg)(4m/s)

p = 16kg.m/s

                 

Hence, Object 3 has the greatest momentum (27kg.m/s), because the mass is small enough compared with the velocity of the object.  

<em>Summary:</em>

Remember that the momentum establishes the quantity of movement that any object can have as a consequence of its mass and its velocity.

An object with height h, mass M, and a uniform cross-sectional area A floats upright in a liquid with density ρ.
soldi70 [24.7K]
** Missing information: The vertical distance from surface of liquid to bottom of the object is sought in this question, with the condition that the object is at equilibrium **

Ans: The vertical distance = y = M/(ρA)

Explanation:

Support the vertical distance = y

Object's density = M/(A*h) (since A*h = volume)

By applying the condition, 

(M/(Ah))/ρ = y/h

M/(ρAh) = y/h

y = M/(ρA)
