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.

A plant is thrown straight

olchik [2.2K]

The time taken for the plant to hit the ground from a distance of 7.01m and at a velocity of 8.84m/s is 1.59s.

<h3>How to calculate time?</h3>

The time taken for a motion to occur can be calculated using the following formula:

v² = u² - 2as

Where;

v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
s = distance
a = acceleration

8.84² = 0² + 2 × a × 7.01

78.15 = 14.02a

a = 5.57m/s²

V = u + at

8.84 = 0 + 5.57t

t = 1.59s

Therefore, the time taken for the plant to hit the ground from a distance of 7.01m and at a velocity of 8.84m/s is 1.59s.

A 500-n parachutist opens his chute and experiences an air resistance force of 800 n. the net force on the parachutist is then

Tasya [4]

Force of 500 N is acting on the parachutist.

Parachutist applies 500 N force in downward direction.

Answer:

300 N upward

Solution:

Parachutist feels air resistance of 800 N.

Thus, 800 N of force is acting in upward direction.

Total force acting on the parachutist is given by,

$F_{net}$ = air resistance force - force of parachutist

$F_{net}$ = 800-500

$F_{net}$ = 300 N

Direction of force is in upward direction because the air resistance force is more than force of parachutist.

A circular radar antenna on a coast guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 ghz. two small boats

solmaris [256]

By definition,
q = 1.22y/D

Where,
q = min. angle
y = wavelength
D = Aperture diameter = diameter of the antenna

At distance "x" from the antenna,
L =xq = 1.22xy/D
Where, L = Min. distance

But, y =c/f = (3*10^8)/(16*10^9) = 0.01875 m

Substituting;
L = 1.22*5*10^3*0.01875/2.1 = 54.46 m

Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in se

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm

Explanation:

Let the two resistances by r and R.

when they are connected in series:

V = 12 V

i = 1.12 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in series is

Rs = r + R

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rs

Rs = V / i = 12 / 1.12 = 10.7 ohm

R + r = 10.7 ohm .... (1)

When they are connected in parallel:

V = 12 V

i = 9.39 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in parallel

$R_{p}=\frac{R+r}{rR}$

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rp

Rp = V / i = 12 / 9.39 = 1.28 ohm

$\frac{R+r}{rR}=1.28$ .... (2)

by substituting the value of R + r from equation (1) in equation (2), we get

r R = 8.36 ..... (3)

$R-r = \sqrt{\left ( R+r \right )^{2}-4rR}$

$R-r = \sqrt{\left ( 10.7 \right )^{2}-4\times 8.36}=9$ ..... (4)

By solvng equation (1) and (4), we get

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm
