In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁  = - (P'₂ -  P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

You push your couch a distance of 3.9 m across the living room floor with a horizontal force of 220.0 n. the force of friction i
Mrac [35]

The general formula to calculate the work is:

W=Fd \cos \theta

where F is the force, d is the displacement of the couch, and \theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement. Let's apply this formula to the different parts of the problem.


(a) Work done by you: in this case, the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the couch, so \theta=0^{\circ} and \cos \theta=1, therefore the work is just equal to the product between the horizontal force you apply to push the couch and the distance the couch has been moved:

W=Fd=(220.0 N)(3.9 m)=858 J


(b) work done by the frictional force: the frictional force has opposite direction to the displacement, therefore \theta=180^{\circ} and \cos \theta=-1. Therefore, we must include a negative sign when we calculate the work done by the frictional force:

W=-Fd=-(144.0 N)(3.9 m)=-561.6 J


(c) The work done by gravity is zero. In fact, gravity (which points downwards) is perpendicular to the displacement of the couch (which is horizontal), therefore \theta=90^{\circ} and \cos \theta=0: this means

W=0.


(d) Work done by the net force:

The net force is the difference between the horizontal force applied by you and the frictional force:

F=220 N-144 N=76 N

And the net force is in the same direction of the displacement, so \theta=0^{\circ} and \cos \theta=1 and the work done is

W=Fd=(76 N)(3.9 m)=296.4 J

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and
vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.

A child bounces a 60 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 22 m/s downward to 15 m/s upward.
fgiga [73]

complete question:

A child bounces a 60 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 22 m/s downward to 15 m/s upward. If the contact time with the sidewalk is 1/800 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the superball by the sidewalk

Answer:

F = 1776  N

Explanation:

mass of ball = 60 g = 0.06 kg

velocity of downward direction = 22 m/s = v1

velocity of upward direction = 15 m/s = v2

Δt = 1/800 = 0.00125 s

Linear momentum of a particle with mass and velocity is the product of the mass and it velocity.

p = mv

When a particle move freely and interact with another system within a period of time and again move freely like in this scenario it has a definite change in momentum. This change is defined as Impulse .

I = pf − pi = ∆p

F =  ∆p/∆t  =  I/∆t

let the upward velocity be the positive

Δp =  mv2 - m(-v1)

Δp =  mv2 - m(-v1)

Δp = m (v2 + v1)

Δp = 0.06( 15 + 22)

Δp = 0.06(37)

Δp = 2.22 kg m/s

∆t  = 0.00125

F =  ∆p/∆t

F =  2.22/0.00125

F = 1776  N

As you ride a bicycle on the sidewalk with a speed of
mixer [17]

Answer:

1.2 seconds

Explanation:

distance = ((final speed + initial speed) * time)/2

Here given:

  • distance: 3.8 meter
  • initial speed: 6.4 m/s
  • final speed: 0 m/s

Solving steps:

3.8 = ((0 + 6.4) * time))/2

3.8 = 3.2(time)

time = 3.8/3.2

time = 1.1875 seconds ≈ 1.2 seconds
