Released weight increases in velocity.

momentum increases as force increases.

momentum= mass x velocity

the wrecking ball has a bigger mass and weight.

the mass of the weight of the wrecking ball is constant, the velocity of the weight as it swings must be increased if momentum is going to be increased.

Answer: A wrecking ball can destroy a building because it is larger, and when it hits something, it exerts a lot of <u>kinetic energy.</u>

A yo-yo is too small and does not exert as much kinetic energy because of it's size.

Hope this helps!

What is the force of a object that has a mass of 7 kg and an acceleration of 6 m/s/s
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

<h2>42 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 7 kg

acceleration = 6 m/s²

We have

force = 7 × 6 = 42

We have the final answer as

<h3>42 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the mass of an object that weighs 686N on Earth?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

70 kg is the mass of the object

Explanation:

This question can be solved with this simple formula:

Weight force = mass . gravity

686 N = mass . 9.8 m/s²

686 N /  9.8 m/s² = mass → 70 kg

Note → 1N = 1 kg . m / s²
