Under what conditions is the conservation of momentum applicable

Physics
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
6 0
<span>The momentum of an isolated system is a constant. The vector sum of the momenta mv of all the objects of a system cannot be changed by interactions within the system. This puts a strong constraint on the types of motions which can occur in an isolated system. If one part of the system is given a momentum in a given direction, then some other part or parts of the system must simultaneously be given exactly the same momentum in the opposite direction. As far as we can tell, conservation of momentum is an absolute symmetry of nature. That is, we do not know of anything in nature that violates it. </span>

What is the flow of energy from the falling water to the steam?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flow of energy from falling water to the steam is;

a) Mechanical → Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal → Thermal

Explanation:

1) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water in the pipe before it falls possesses potential energy which it converts into kinetic energy as it falls from height

2) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water falling from the pipe stream unto the turbine wheel transfers its kinetic (mechanical) energy due to its motion on to the turbine wheel to give the wheel rotational motion

3) Mechanical → Electrical

The kinetic (mechanical) energy from the rotating turbine wheel is converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator which transported through the electrical circuit

4) Electrical → Thermal

The electrical energy from the electric current is then converted into thermal energy as the current passes through the resistors in the heating filament

5) Thermal → Thermal

The heated filament transfers thermal energy to the the water in the beaker by conduction which raises the temperature of the water such that as the water acquires more thermal energy it turns into steam

Therefore, we have the flow of energy from the falling water to steam as follows;

1) Mechanical 2) Mechanical 3) Electrical 4) Thermal 5) Thermal

What is the work done by a car's braking system when it slows the 1500-kg car from an initial speed of 96 km/h down to 56 km/h i
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

-352.275KJ

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car=1500kg

Initial speed of car =u=96 km/h=96\times \frac{5}{18}=26.67m/s

1km/h=\frac{5}{18}m/s

Final speed of car=v=56km/h=56\times \frac{5}{18}=15.56m/s

Distance traveled by car=s=55m

We have to find the work done by the car's braking system.

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

(15.56)^2-(26.67)^2=2a(55)

-469.18=110a

a=\frac{-469.18}{110}=-4.27m/s^2

Where negative sign indicates that velocity of car decreases.

Work done by a car's barking system=w=F\times s=ma\times s

Work done by a car's barking system=1500\times -4.27\times 55=352275J

Work done by a car's barking system=-\frac{352275}{1000}=-352.275KJ

1KJ=1000J

Where negative sign indicates that work done in opposite direction of motion.

When an electric soldering iron is used in a 110 V circuit, the current flowing through the iron is 2 A. What is the resistance
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Now we know by Ohm's law that

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance,the Ohm's law can be mathematically represented as

V=I x R

Where V is the voltage measured in volts

I is the current measured in amperes

R is the resistance measured in ohms


Given:

I = 2 A

V= 110 V

Applying Ohm's law and substituting the given values in the above formula we get

V=I x R

110 = 2 X R

R = 55 ohms
