The boy's momentum is 160 kg*m/s north.
The formula of momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum.
p = 40 kg * 4m/s north
p =160 kg*m/s north<span>Thank you for posting your question. I hope you found what you were after. Please feel free to ask me more.</span>
Answer:
40N in either direction is the answer
Photons are particles of electromagnetic radiation.
"<span>An atom is the smallest unit of matter and an element is a pure substance that is made of identical atoms" is correct. Although atoms can be broken down further now, it still take a whole atom to make an element. </span>
The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.
All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.
If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
