Answer:

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.

Explanation:

Consider an object of mass m travelling at a velocity \vec{v}. The momentum \vec{p} of this object would be:

\vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}.

For the law of conservation of momentum, consider two objects: object \rm a and object \rm b. Assume that these two objects collided with each other.

  • Let m_{\rm a} and m_{\rm b} denote the mass of the two objects.
  • Let \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) and \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) denote the velocity of the two object right before the interaction.
  • Let \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) and \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}) denote the velocity of the two objects right after the interaction.
  • The momentum of the two objects right before the collision would be m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) and m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}), respectively.
  • The momentum of the two objects right after the collision would be m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) and m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}), respectively.

The sum of the momentum of the two objects would be:

  • m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) right before the collision, and
  • m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}) right after the collision.

Assume that the system of these two objects is isolated. By the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of the momentum of these two objects should be the same before and after the collision. That is:

m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) = m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}).

1. Do you think that hand signals are important in officiating games? why?​
alex41 [277]

Yeah, hand signals are important in officiating games. The hand signals are given by the referee who first signals the fault and then indicates which team has won the point. A point is indicated by one finger at the side of the court to indicate the winner of the rally.

How far can a person run in 13.22 minutes if he or she runs at an average speed of 12.33 km/hr?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

2.72 km

Explanation:

(12.33 km)/ 1 hr * (1 hr)/ 60 min

0.2055 km/ min

distance=rate * time (assuming v is constant,

a=0)

(0.2055 km/ min)*(13.22 min)

2.72 km OR 2716.71 m

tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.
