A golf ball and bowling ball are rolling at the same speed. Which has the greater momentum?

If a golf ball and a bowling ball are rolling at the same speed, use MSM as an analogy: More mass, more Speed, more Momentum. The golf ball is smaller, and may be going the same speed as the bowling ball but the bowling ball has a much greater mass than the golf ball. The bowling ball has the greater momentum. The bigger the object, the faster it goes, the more momentum it has.

The bowling ball has more momentum because it is bigger and has more weight to it than the golfball.

Suppose the maximum power delivered by a car's engine results in a force of 16000 N on the car by the road. In the absence of an

joja [24]

Answer:

Approximately $9.7\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Explanation:

Assuming that there is no other force on this vehicle, the $16000\; \rm N$ force from the road would be the only force on this vehicle. The net force would then be equal to this $16000\; \rm N\!$ force. The size of the net force would be $16000\; \rm N\!\!$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of this vehicle and let $\Sigma F$ denote the net force on this vehicle.

By Newton's Second Law of motion, the acceleration of this vehicle would be proportional to the net force on this vehicle. In other words, the acceleration of this vehicle, $a$ , would be:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\end{aligned}$ .

For this vehicle, $\Sigma F = 16000\; \rm N$ whereas $m = 1650\; \rm kg$ . The acceleration of this vehicle would be:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{16000\; \rm N}{1650\; \rm kg} \\ &= \frac{16000\; \rm kg \cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}{1650\; \rm kg}\\ &\approx 9.7 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .

I need to choose a theme for my physics assignment My experiment is finding g

Kobotan [32]

<h3>Question:</h3>

How to find g (acceleration due to gravity)

<h3>Solution:</h3>

We know,

Acceleration due to gravity (g)

$= \frac{GM}{ {R}^{2} }$

where, G = Gravitational constant

$= 6.67 \times {10}^{11} N {m}^{2}/k {g}^{2} \\$

M = Mass of the earth

$= 6 \times {10}^{24} \: kg$

R = Radius of the earth

$= 6.4 \times {10}^{6} m$

Putting these values of G, M and R in the above formula, we get

$g \: = \: \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{11} N {m}^{2}/k {g}^{2} \times \: 6 \times {10}^{24} \: kg }{(6.4 \times {10}^{6}m {)}^{2} } \\ = 9.8m/ {s}^{2}$

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity is

$9.8m/s ^{2}$

Hope it helps.

According to the graph, how many atoms would remain after two half-lives?

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Let No be initial no of atoms

N = N0 / 2 after 1 half-life

N = N0 / 4 after 2 half-lives

So after 2 half-lives 20 of the 80 atoms remain

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun? the earth-moon and e

Tju [1.3M]

The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>

So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

$d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m$

As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

$t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min$

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.
