Answer:

(a) They must have same direction

(b) It is not necessary for them to have same magnitudes

Explanation:

(a)

Momentum is a vector quantity. It is the product of mass (scalar) and velocity (vector). Thus, if the direction of velocity is changed, then as a result the direction of momentum will also change or its magnitude or component in the same direction will change. Hence, for the two objects to have same momentum, the directions of their velocities must also be the same.

(b)

Since, the momentum is product of velocity and mass. It is possible that two bodies of different masses with different velocities might have same momentum, provided the direction of their velocities is same.

For example, take a body of mass 4 kg moving with speed 5 m/s. It will have a momentum of 20 N.s. Now, consider another body of mass 2 kg, moving with speed 10 m/s. It will also have a momentum of 20 N.s.

Thus, it is not necessary for two objects to have same magnitude of velocity to have same momentum.

Give an example in which a small force exerts a large torque. give another example in which a large force exerts a small torque.
goldenfox [79]
<span>Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.
malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.

Answer:

With the exception of natural gas fossil fuel energies have seen an overall decrease since year 2000.

Explanation:

Just observe the graph

The Fossil fuels include-Petroleum ,coal and natural gases.

  • The graph of these goes fastly up during 20th century but ,then it stabled at the peak then has not shown any solid increase .
  • Observe other energy sources graph ,nuclear energy etc have shown quite speedy increase .

Option C is correct

What is the force of gravity acting on a 1-kg m mass? (g = 9.8 m/s ^ 2)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: Use this F=Ma.

Explanation: So your answer will be

F=1 Kg+9.8 ms-2

So the answer will be

F=9.8N

How'd I do this?

I just used Newton's second law of motion.

I'll also put the derivation just in case.

Applied force α (Not its alpha, proportionality symbol) change in momentum

Δp α p final- p initial

Δp α mv-mu (v=final velocity, u=initial velocity and p=v*m)

or then

F α m(v-u)/t

So, as we know v=final velocity & u= initial velocity and v-u/t =a.

So F α ma, we now remove the proportionality symbol so we'll add a proportionality constant to make the RHS & LHS equal.

So, F=<em>k</em>ma (where k is the proportionality constant)

<em>k</em> is 1 so you can ignore it.

So, our equation becomes F=ma
