The product of mass and velocity is momentum.
A good way to summarize momentum is to say momentum is mass in motion. All objects have mass, but not all objects are moving; therefore, not all objects have momentum. ... That particular object's momentum will increase as it begins to increase its velocity.

A 2 kg mass is free falling in the negative Y direction when a 10 N force is exerted in the minus X direction. What is the accel

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The mass's acceleration is 5 m/s^2 in the minus X direction and 9,8 m/s^2 in the minus Y direction.

Explanation:

By applying the second Newton's law in the X and Y direction we found that in the minus X direction an external force of 10 N is exerted, while in the minus Y direction the gravity acceleration is acting:

X-direction balance force: $-10 [N] = m.ax$

Y-direction balance force: $-m*9,8 \frac{m}{s^2} = m.ay$

Where ax and ay are the components of the respective acceleration and m is the mass. By solving for each acceleration:

$ax=(-10 [N]) / m$

$ay=-m*9,8\frac{m}{s^2} / m$

Note that for the second equation above the mass is cancelled and, the Y direction acceleration is minus the gravity acceleration:

$ay=-9,8\frac{m}{s^2}$

For the x component aceleration we must replace the Newton unit:

$N =\frac{kg.m}{s^2}$

$ax= -10 \frac{kg.m}{s^2} / (2 kg)$

$ax= - 5 \frac{m}{s^2}$

A teacher discusses a scientific theory that has been in place for almost a century. which would present the greatest challenge

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?

natali 33 [55]

Explanation:

mass=5 kg

potential energy=6000j

height=?

Now

potential energy =m.g.h

or 6000=5*9.8*h

or 6000=49h

or 6000÷49=h

or h= 122.45m

Mrs. Paul and Dr. Mykannen ride a tandem bike on the beach. They ride along the beach for about 455 meters. Their final velocity

algol [13]

Answer:

Time = 80.91 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 5.50 m/s.

Distance = 445 meters

To find the time;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5.5 = 445/time

Time = 445/5.5

Time = 80.91 seconds
