An ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant is standing still.

Explanation:

The word momentum is defined as product of object’s mass m  and velocity \overrightarrow v  buy which it moves and the momentum can be denoted by vector quantity \overrightarrow p .

Whose product of mass and the velocity is more; its momentum will be more.

If elephant stands still, means its velocity is equal to zero, then the product of its mass and velocity will be zero. Hence, it will have 0 momentum.

Since, the mass of ant is insignificantly small but have velocity for moving. So, the ant have small momentum but somewhat greater than zero.

Therefore, the ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

If an ant will stand still it have zero velocity, so the momentum will be equal to zero. Hence, this option is also incorrect.

The option “The elephant has much high mass” is incorrect because having high mass but zero velocity will result in no momentum.

Thus, an ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant is standing still.

This procedure has been used to "weigh" astronauts in space:
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Mass of astronaut will be 119.7674 kg

Explanation:

We have given mass of the chair m_1=42.5kg

When there is chair alone then time period of osculation T_1=1.30sec

Now when astronaut sit on the chair then total mass m_2=m_1+mass\ of\ astronaut=42.5+mass\ of\ astronaut

Now with astronaut time period is T_2=2.54sec

For spring time period is given by T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

So \frac{T_1}{T_2}=\sqrt{\frac{m_1}{m_2}}

\frac{1.3}{2.54}=\sqrt{\frac{42.5}{42.5+mass\ of\ astronaut}}

Squaring both side

0.2619={\frac{42.5}{42.5+mass\ of\ astronaut}}

11.13+0.2619\times mass\ of\ astronaut=42.5

Mass of astronaut will be 119.7674 kg

Water pressurized to 3 ´ 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a pipe which contracts to 1/3 of its former area. What are the pressure
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

=P' = 2 * 10 ^ 5 Pa

Explanation:

given data:

Pressure P = 3 * 10^ 5 Pa

speed v = 5 m / s

Area A = A

from the information given in equation final Area is 1/3 of initial area i.e.

A ' = A / 3

we know that density of water = 1000 kg / m^ 3

from continuity equation

Av = A ' v'

so we have

speed v ' = 3*A*v / A

v ' = 3*A*5/ A

v = 15 m / s

from bernoulli's equation we can calculate final pressure

Required pressure P ' = P + ( 1/ 2) \rho [ v^ {2} v'^{ 2}]

= P ' = P + ( 1/ 2) \rho_{water} [ v^ {2} - v'^{ 2}]

=P -  10 ^ {5}

= 3*10^{5} - 10 ^ {5}

=P' = 2 * 10 ^ 5 Pa

Orbital velocity is the average speed ofa planet moving through space in itsorbit around the sun. Which of thefollowing planets
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

The force of gravity is equal to the mass times the centripetal acceleration:

Fg = m v² / r

Also, the force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states the Fg = mMG / r², where m and M are the masses of the objects, G is the universal constant of gravitation, and r is the distance between the objects.

mMG / r² = m v²/ r

MG / r = v²

This means the square of the orbital velocity is equal to the mass of the sun times the universal constant of gravity divided by the orbital radius.  So whichever planet has the smallest orbital radius will have the highest orbital velocity.  Of the four options, that would be Mercury.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The percent of power extended against sea-level air drag is 50.15%

Explanation:

Length L is 22 ft, Power P is 590 hp,

Speed of air V = 175 mi/h. To convert to ft, we will multiply by 1.46

V = 175 × 1.46 = 255.5 ft

Frontal Area A is given as 23.5 ft

Coefficient of drag, Cd is 0.35

From text, Density of Air at sea level ρ = 0.00237 slug/ft³

The formula for calculating Drag Force F is

F = Cd × \frac{1}{2} × ρAV²

Substitute the values above into the formula

F = 0.35 × \frac{1}{2} × 0.00237 × 23.5 × 255.5²

= 0.35 × \frac{1}{2} × 3635.78

= 636.26 lbf

But Power P = FV

Therefore we substitute for F and V to get P

P = 636.26 × 255.5

= 162564.43 ft.lbf/s

To convert to horsepower, we multiply by 0.00182 hp

= 162564.43 × 0.00182

= 295.87 hp

The percent of power extended against sea-level air drag is

= (295.87/590) × 100

= 50.15%
