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}).

How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

or

p = mv

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s

Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Hence, the momentum of the man is 20kgm/s

Please help really easy worth 20
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Stationary

20N

Explanation:

From the graph, we see that the body traveling is on a fixed position. Therefore, it is a stationary body.

The graph given is a position - time curve.

 This curve depict a body changing position with given time.

Since the line of the curve is on a single position, the body is not changing position with the passage of time therefore, it is a stationary object.

B. 20N

From Newton's third law of motion we understand that "action and reaction force are equal but oppositely directed".

 Since the person is exerting a force of 20N on the balance.

So, the reaction force by the balance is 20N upward.
