What is the difference between mass and momentum?

Physics
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer & Explanation:

Definition:

Mass informs us about how much matter is present in a body. It is the measure of the inertia of a body. It can be measured by measuring the force of gravity acting on it on earth.

On the other hand, Momentum is the quantity of motion of the body. It depends depends upon velocity and the direction of the motion of the body.

Unit:

The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg) while the SI unit of momentum is kg.m.s-1.

Formula:

Mass = Momentum / Velocity

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

or p = mv

Type:

Mass is scalar quantity while Momentum is a vector quantity.

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume
enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g  =  .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

=  .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.
