A 3 kg stone is dropped from a height of 4 m what is its momentum as it strikes the ground

Physics

Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Okay first you have to recognize that the maximum Gravitational potential energy will equal the maximum kinetic energy. The maximum GPE will equal when the stone is at its highest point and the max KE will be right before the stone hits the ground. So

GPE max = KE max

mgh = 1/2mv^2

Mass cancels as it is on both sides

gh = 1/2v^2

Multiply by 2

2gh = v^2

Square root

v = √2gh

Now plug in

v = √2(9.8)(4)

v = 8.85 m/s

Now use the mass to calculate the momentum just before it hits the ground as this is the speed right before it hits the ground

p = mv

p = (3)(8.85)

p = 26.55 kgm/s

Art [367]
The outside observer, at rest relative to the spaceship, would see the spaceship
get shorter. and the clocks on the spaceship run slower than they should.

At the same time, the crew of the spaceship, looking back at the observer on
Earth, would see the observer on Earth get shorter, and the observer's clock
run slower than it should.

They would both be measuring what they see correctly.

What is an ideal diode? a. The ideal diode acts as an open circuit for forward currents and as a short circuit with reverse volt
Serhud [2]

Answer:

d.  The ideal diode acts as a short circuit for forward currents and as an open circuit with reverse voltage applied.

Explanation:

Ideal diode acts like an ideal conductor. In case of forward voltage it acts like an ideal conductor. However when it is reverse biased then it behaves like an ideal insulator. You can understand it bu considering a switch. When the voltage is forward then ideal diode acts like a closed switch. When the voltage is reverse biased then ideal diode behaves like an open switch.

        That is why we can say that the ideal diode acts as a short circuit (higher conduction) for forward currents and as an open circuit ( zero conduction) with reverse voltage applied.
