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).

What happens to the electrostatic force between two charged particles if the distance between them is doubled?

Stells [14]

According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.

A 45.0 g hard-boiled egg moves on the end of a spring with force constant 25.0 N/m. Its initial displacement 0.500 m. A damping

leva [86]

Answer:

0.02896 kg/s

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Initial displacement = 0.5 m

$A21$ = Final displacement = 0.1 m

t = Time taken = 0.5 s

m = Mass of object = 45 g

Displacement is given by

$x=Ae^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}cos(\omega t+\phi)$

At maximum displacement

$cos(\omega t+\phi)=1$

$\\\Rightarrow A_2=A_1e^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=e^{\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{b}{2m}t\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2m}{t}\times ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2\times 0.045}{5}\times ln\dfrac{0.5}{0.1}\\\Rightarrow b=0.02896\ kg/s$

The magnitude of the damping coefficient is 0.02896 kg/s
