If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?

1 answer:

7 0

The general formula is: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself. I hope so:

Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)

New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

   = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

   = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original momentum).

VLD [36.1K]

The pulse site located at the point where the upper leg bends is called the femoral. It is an artery found in the thigh. It is large and is deemed as the main arterial supply for the lower part of the body. It is known as the second artery that is the largest. It is being used as the catheter access artery. From it, diagnostics for the heart, brain, arms, kidney and other parts can be directed to the other arterial system. It can also be used as a source to draw blood that is from the arteries when there is low blood pressure.

A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m

olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s

Monica [59]

Answer:

(B) Dark energy does not exist and there is much more matter than current evidence suggests.

Explanation:

The repulsive force which is accelerating expansion of the universe is called as dark energy. Most of matter present in the universe is the dark matter of about eighty five percent.

So, a collapsing universe would not have the dark energy and there is more matter which is not the dark matter. This theory is rejected because expansion of the universe is observable.
