A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,

it's momentum would be
Physics
1 answer:
fomenos3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.

Which of the following are likely to be physical changes to an object?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The correct option is 'd': The change in shape of an object.

Explanation:

Since by definition physical change is defined as a change that changes only the form of an object or substance and producing no change in the chemical composition of the substance. Physical changes are reversible in nature.

As we can see from all the options the change in the shape of the object is a reversible change as we can always remold any substance in any shape, thus it confirms to a physical change.

The change in the molecular composition of an object is a hallmark of a chemical reaction thus indicates a chemical change.

The smell change in an object is an indication of a chemical change in the object hence is not a physical change.

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb =  59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.
