Is it possible for a baseball to have as large a momentum as a much more massive bowling ball

1 answer:

8 0

Yes it is possible. Momentum is calculated by the mass of the object times its velocity.
For example, say a bowling ball weighs 3.0kg and is travelling at a speed of 3.0m/s. Its momentum would be 3.0×3.0=9.0 kg·m/s.
Now say we have a baseball weighing 0.20kg and it is travelling at a speed of 47.0m/s. Its momentum would be 0.20×47.0=9.4 kg·m/s, which is more than that of the bowling ball.

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.

What is a conversion factor?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

$275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]$

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]
