Which object has the greatest momentum...and why

Physics
2 answers:
damaskus [11]3 years ago

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.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

F1 = K Q1 Q2 / R1^2

F2 = K Q1 / 2 * Q2 / (2 R1)^2

F2 / F1 = 1/2 / 4 = 1/8

The new force is 5N   (1/2 due to charge and 1/4 due to distance)

Which best describes how energy changes form in a car's engine?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.

Calculate the wave length of a water wave with a speed of 20 m/s and a frequency of 2.5 Hz
12345 [234]

Wavelength of the water wave is 8 m

Explanation:

  • Wavelength measures the distance between two successive crests or troughs of the wave. It is given by the following equation

λ = v/f, where f is the frequency, v is the velocity of the wave

Here, v = 20 m/s and f = 2.5 Hz

⇒ λ = 20/2.5

      = 8 m

Which of the following is NOT a example
solmaris [256]

Answer:

B. a piece of paper being torn

Explanation:

A chemical change is one that cannot be reversed. This means the original properties of the substance or object cannot be restored.

If you cook a raw egg, it would turn into a boiled egg (or a poached egg, however it is being cooked). The reaction is irreversible, so you cannot turn the cooked egg back into a raw egg - it is basically impossible to 'uncook' an already cooked egg.

When you toast a piece of bread, it turns into toast. You can't 'untoast' it back into bread. The chemical changes have already occurred and cannot be undone.

If you tear a piece of paper, it is still paper. You are only ripping it, not changing anything about it. You could simply tape the torn bit back to the original bit, or glue it - either way, it is still paper and nothing has occurred to drastically change the physical state of it.

Therefore, B is not a chemical change.
