Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

Physics
1 answer:

3 0

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s.  That's momentum.  The 20,000 has units of Newtons.  That's force.  Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely.  You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push.  The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the <u><em>impulse</em></u> you give it.  The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

<em>T = 0.1701 second</em>

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

Which has greater accuracy, the 10 mL graduated cylinder or the 50 mL graduated cylinder
mylen [45]
You can estimate one more digit past the smallest division on the measuring device. If you look at a 10mL graduated cylinder, for example, the smallest graduation is tenth of a milliliter (0.1mL). That means when you read the volume, you can estimate to the hundredths place (0.01mL).
