How is it possible for two objects to have the same momentum but different velocities give an example

Physics

castortr0y [4]3 years ago

Momentum is
p = mv, where m is the mass and v is the speed.
So, if two objects have the same momentum but different speeds, the must have different masses as well.
v1/v2 = m2/m1
The example is a car and a truck. Car has the mass 1000 kg and velocity 100 m/s, and truck has the mass 5000 kg and velocity 20 m/s. Use the formula above to determine is it true that they have the same momentum:
(100 m/s) / (20 m/s) = (5000 kg) / (1000 kg)
5 = 5
So, the example is correct.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold (density of gold is 19.3 ×
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, we can find the mass of the object in air

Since W = mg

m = W/g = (8.9)/(9.8) = 0.908 kg

Then, by Archimedes principle, we can find its volume. The volume is found by the weight of the water displaced by the formula

W = Vρg

The Weight is the difference in scale readings. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3

(8.9- 7.8) = V(1000)(9.8)

Thus V = 1 X 10-4 m3

Then, since density is mass / volume

ρ = 0.908/1 X 10-4

ρ = 8254 kg/m3 which is 8 X 103 kg/m3

The density of gold is 19.3 X 103 kg/m3

Since those densities are not the same, the crown is either hollow or not pure gold

A 700 kg racecar slowed from 30 m/s to 15 m/s. What was the change in momentum?
xxMikexx [17]
Momentum equation is

change in momentum = mass•initial velocity•final velocity

so....

p=700(15) because your initial is 30, and your final in 15, so you subtract! hope that helped!

You have a chemical sealed in a glass container filled with air. The glass container has a mass of 200.0 grams and the chemical
just olya [345]

Answer:

the total mass after chemical burn is 700 gram

Explanation:

Given data

glass mas s= 200 gram

chemical mass = 500 gram

total mass = 700 gram

to find out

what is the total mass after chemical burn

solution

we have given 200 gram + 500 gram = 700 gram

and we know here according to question that

container is sealed so total mass remain in container before burning and after burning

no air will release in seal container so

mass will be same as 700 gram

hence the total mass after chemical burn is 700 gram
