If two identical cars are traveling at different velocities, which car has the greatest momentum ​

Physics
1 answer:
vodomira [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The one with highest velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the car

v is the velocity of the car

In this problem, we have two identical cars: identical means they have same mass, so

m_1 = m_2 = m

The momentum of car 1 is

p_1 = mv_1

while the momentum of car 2 is

p_2 = mv_2

By comparing the two expressions, we see that the car with greatest momentum is the one with highest velocity, since the mass is the same.

Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

People living at Earth’s equator are traveling at a constant speed of about 1,670 km/h as Earth spins on its axis. What are thes
Vlada [557]
The people living around the equator experience acceleration. Acceleration is the change in speed or/and direction. When on a rotating body, the speed does not change it is only the direction that changes as it rotates.When on a rotating body you do not have to change speed but only direction. In a normal situation when you are traveling on a circle you will never have a straight line.

A baseball is hit with a bat. The direction of the ball is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact w
alexdok [17]
Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.

After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.

a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.
