Two objects have the same momentum. Which of the following is true? I. The masses of the objects are equal. Ii. The speeds of th
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Iv. The direction of motion of each object is the same.

Explanation:

Momentum of an object is defined as:

p= mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

Since v is a vector, it follows that p is also a vector, and it has the same direction of the velocity. This means that if two objects have same momentum, then the direction of their momentum vector is also the same: therefore, the direction of motion of each object must be the same.

The other options are wrong, because they just state that only one of the two quantities involved in the equation (mass or velocity) is the same, but the two objects can actually have the same momentum even if they have different masses and velocities (in fact, the only thing that matters is that the product between mass and velocity is the same).

What is the main difference between the following two velocities: 7 m/s and -7m/s?
Serjik [45]

The difference between the above velocities is that they exist in opposite direction of each other. or it can be said that they are negative vectors of each other.

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri
belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.
