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).

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

A baseball rolls off a 1.20m high desk and strikes the floor 0.50m away from the base of the desk . How fast was it rolling?

noname [10]

The initial velocity of the ball is 1.01 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball rolling off the desk is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ , acceleration due to gravity)

We start by analyzing the vertical motion: we can find the time of flight of the ball by using the following suvat equation

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

s = 1.20 m is the vertical displacement (the height of the desk)

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

t is the time of flight

Solving for t,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.20)}{9.8}}=0.495 s$

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. We know that the ball covers a horizontal distance of

d = 0.50 m

in a time

t = 0.495 s

Therefore, since the horizontal velocity is constant, we can calculate it as

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.50}{0.495}=1.01 m/s$

So, the ball rolls off the table at 1.01 m/s.
