Under what conditions is the conservation of momentum applicable

1 answer:

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>

Your answer should be precise to 0.1 m/s. Use a gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s/s. At it lowest point, a pendulum is moving

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed, v₁ = 7.7 m/s

We need to find the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point. Let it is given by v₂. Using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2+mgh$

$v_2^2=v_1^2-2gh$

$v_2^2=(7.7)^2-2\times 10\times 1$

$v_2=6.26\ m/s$

So, the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

When you have a cloudy night, the clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.

The clouds act like a blanket and trap the heat it, and that is why every time you have a cloudy night, it is always warmer than a clear night.
