Romashka [77]3 years ago

Based on increasing momentum, the given equations are ranked as following,

1. A 1200 kg car going 15 m/s with momentum 18000  kgm/s.

2. A 15 kg meteor going at the speed of 1000 m/s with momentum 15000 kgm/s.

3. A 100 kg person running at 5 m/s with momentum 500 kgm/s.

4. A 10,000 kg train car at rest with zero momentum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is the mass in motion i.e. an object is said to have momentum when it is in motion. The momentum of the object depends upon the mass and the velocity of the object. It is vector quantity since it has both direction and magnitude. The momentum can be evaluated using the formula,

\vec{p}=m \times \vec{v}

where \vec{p} is the momentum,m is the mass and \vec{v} is the velocity of the object

Momentum of given cases,

A) A train car at rest: The momentum of an object at rest is always 0.

B) A 100kg person running at 5 m/s: \vec{p}=m \times \vec{v}=100\ \mathrm{kg} \times 5\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}=500\ \mathrm{kgm} / \mathrm{s}

Therefore, momentum of the person is 500 kgm/s.

C) A 1200kg car going at 15m/s: \vec{p}=m \times \vec{v}=1200\ \mathrm{kg} \times 15 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}=18000\ \mathrm{kgm} / \mathrm{s}  

Therefore, momentum of the person is 18000 kgm/s.

D) A 15 kg meteor going at the speed of 1000m/s:

\vec{p}=m \times \vec{v}^=15\ \mathrm{kg} \times 1000\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} =15000\ \mathrm{kgm} / \mathrm{s}

Therefore, momentum of the meteor is 15000 kgm/s.

It’s b because if you’re running at 5 miles per second being a 100kg weight is the fastest

Once an object enters orbit, what keeps the object moving sideways?
yaroslaw [1]

It's the natural tendency of things to keep going unless there's something trying to stop them.

It's usually called "inertia".

Don't get the idea from all of this that things stop unless there's something to keep them going.  The truth is exactly the opposite:  Things keep going unless there's something to make them stop.

What is the magnitude of the electric field strength between them, if the potential 7.95 cm from the zero volt plate (and 2.05 c
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

ΔVab = Ed

ΔVab = Va-Vb = Va-V0 = Va

E = Va/ d

   = 413V / 0.0795 m

    = 5194.97 V/M

Explanation:

the potential difference between two uniform plates is calculated by the formula of electric field.

An airplane flies 2500 miles east in 245 seconds what is the velocity of the plane?
forsale [732]

Speed = (distance) / (time)

Speed = (

Velocity = speed, and its direction

The velocity of the plane is 10.2 miles per second East.

(about 48 times the speed of sound)

Scientists can use spectral analysis of stars to determine which of the following?
RoseWind [281]
I do believe all of these but core elements can be determined by spectroscopy which includes the use of electromagnetic radiation. Both the surface and core temperature can be measured using light. Surface elements can be found because the absorption lines of different elements in the spectra of the star, but I haven't heard anything about using spectral analysis for core elements.
