Linear momentum is in a straight line and depends on the objects mass and velocity.

Angular (rotational) momentum depends on the objects mass, velocity, and radius.

The following situation will be used for the next three problems: A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at ti
chubhunter [2.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 30 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s².

We need to find the time when the rock is ascending at a height of 180 m.

The rock is projected from the surface of the moon. The equation of motion in this case is given by :

h=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\180=30t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.62t^2

It is a quadratic equation, after solving whose solution is given by:

t = 7.53 s

or

t = 8 seconds

(e)If it is decending, v = -20 m/s

Now t' is the time of descending. So,

v=-u+gt\\\\t=\dfrac{v+u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{20+30}{1.62}\\\\t=30.86\ s

Let h' is the height of the rock at this time. So,

h'=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h'=30\times 30.86-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.62\times 30.86^2\\\\h'=154.40\ m

or

h' = 155 m

A car is travelling at a constant speed of 26.5 m/s. Its tires have a radius of 72 cm. If the car slows down at a constant rate
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Magnitude of angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is the ratio of linear acceleration and radius.

That is

        \texttt{Angular acceleration}=\frac{\texttt{Linear acceleration}}{\texttt{Radius}}\\\\\alpha =\frac{a}{r}

Radius = 72 cm = 0.72 m

Linear acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a=\frac{11.7-26.5}{5.2}=-2.85m/s^2

Angular acceleration

        \alpha =\frac{a}{r}=\frac{-2.85}{0.72}=-3.95rad/s^2

Angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²  

Magnitude =  3.95 rad/s²

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. Question 1 options: True False
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. To convert 1.3 hours to minute, you would multiply by 1 h / 60 min. Kilometer is a unit of length, whereas kilogram is a unit of mass. True.

The speed of a certain electron is 995 km s−1 . If the uncertainty in its momentum is to be reduced to 0.0010 per cent, what unc
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is 1.163 * 10^{-5} m

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ_{y} Δ_{p} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

The momentum P_{y} = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

                                = (9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)

                                = 9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

                              = 9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

                              Δ_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }

                              Δ_{y} \geq  1.163 * 10^{-5}m
