Even though the individual molecules in a system may have non-zero momentum, the total momentum of a system at rest is equal to?

Physics
1 answer:
lilavasa [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

momentum = mv

For a system at rest, the velocity = 0

momentum = m*0

= 0

Even though the individual molecules in a system have some momentum, the system has no momentum because the system is at rest and is left standing.

What is the efficiency of a tractor that has a work output of 300j and a work input of 400j
Sauron [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 75 %

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

To measure efficiency of a machine, compare the work output to work input.

Efficiency = Work output/ work output × 100 %

                = 300/400 × 100

                = 75 %

4. A latch holding a cart in place, hanging high above the ground, breaks and the cart falls. The cart started from rest and is
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) 31.4 m/s

b) 50.2 m

Explanation:

a) When an object is free falling, its speed is determined by the gravity force giving it acceleration. Equation for the velocity of free fall started from the rest is:

v = g • t

g - is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81 m/s^2, sometimes rounded to 10

t - is the time of free fall

So:

v = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2

v = 31.4 m/s ( if g is rounded to 10, then the velocity is 10 • 3.2 = 32 m/s)

b) To determine the distance crossed in free fall we use the equation:

s = v0 + gt^2/2

v0 - is the starting velocity (since object started fall from rest, its v0 is 0)

s = gt^2/2

s = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2^2 / 2

s = 50.2 m (if we round g to 10 then the distance is 10 • 3.2^2/2 = 51.2 meters)
