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.

A gun shoots a bullet with a velocity of 500 m/s. The gun is aimed horizontally and fired from a height of 1.5 m. How far does t
MrMuchimi

The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity u_x. It takes a time <em>t</em> to fall a vertical distance <em>y</em> and at the same time travels a horizontal distance <em>x. </em>

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance <em>y </em>using the equation,

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Substitute 0 m/s for u_y, 9.81 m/s²for <em>g</em> and 1.5 m for <em>y</em>.

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ 1.5 m=(0m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)t^2\\ t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.5m)}{9.81m/s^2} } =0.5530s

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is given by,

x=u_xt

Substitute 500 m/s for u_x and 0.5530s for t.

x=u_xt\\ =(500m/s)(0.5530s)\\ =276.5m

The bullet travels a distance of 276.5 m.

Water flows through a pipe of
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

9.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass is conserved.

m₁ = m₂

ρ₁ Q₁ = ρ₂ Q₂

Assuming no change in density:

Q₁ = Q₂

v₁ A₁ = v₂ A₂

v₁ π r₁² = v₂ π r₂²

v₁ r₁² = v₂ r₂²

Plugging in values:

(1.50 m/s) (0.0250 m)² = v (0.0100 m)²

v = 9.38 m/s
