Speed:

$v = \frac{500 \,\,\mbox{miles}}{3.7 \,\,\mbox{h}}\approx 135.14 mph$

Velocity:

Velocity os speed with director (an oriented vector):

The velocity is 135.14 mph in the direction east

What is the momentum of a 0.000015 kg mosquito flying straight at you with a velocity of 5.20 m/s?

Setler [38]

Answer:

Momentum, $p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a mosquito, m = 0.000015 kg

Velocity of the mosquito, v = 5.2 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the mosquito. The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Put all the values in the above formula.

$p=0.000015\ kg\times 5.2\ m/s\\\\p=0.000078\ N-m\\\\\text{or}\\\\p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m$

So, the momentum of the mosquito is $7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m$ .

Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball $u=0$

Force exerted by racquet $F=540 N$

time period of force $t=5\ ms$

final velocity of ball $v=45\ m/s$

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

$J=F\Delta t=\Delta P$

$J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)$

$m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}$

$m=60\ gm$
