A particle having a speed of 0.87c has a momentum of 10-16 kg·m/s. what is its mass?

Physics

cupoosta [38]3 years ago

The momentum p of a moving particle is the product between its mass, m, and tis velocity, v:
p=mv
In our problem, we know p=10^{-16}~Kg \cdot m/s and v=0.87c=0.87\cdot 3\cdot10^8~m/s=2.61\cdot 10^8~m/s, and using the relationship mentioned above, we can find the mass m of the particle:
m= \frac{p}{v} =3.8\cdot10^{-25}~Kg

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be B.
<span>
Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation. </span>

Why are the temperatures on each of the other terrestrial planets more extreme than earth?
netineya [11]
Other terrestrial planets have more extreme temperatures mainly because of their atmospheres
Explanation:
for example the atmosphere of Venus is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, this carbon dioxide traps the heat or energy from the sun and makes the planet have higher temperatures. where on mars the atmosphere is very thin so it takes in lots of heat and doesn't keep it in very well so it gets very hot and very cold

Real world situation to explain the relationship between work and power
In-s [12.5K]
-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.

A soccer ball is kicked; it comes to rest after rolling through the grass. Why is this not considered a violation of Newton's Fi
julsineya [31]

Newton's law states that objects at rest/motion will remain at rest/motion "UNLESS" a force is acted upon it.

So the soccer ball got kicked, and then came to rest. This doesn't state that the soccer ball was still rolling when the force of someone's foot kicked the ball.
