Answer : The S.I unit of momentum is, kg • meters per second

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

$p=mv$

where,

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

The unit of mass of kilogram (kg) and the unit of velocity is meter per second (m/s).

Thus, the unit of momentum will be:

$p=mv=kg\times (m/s)=kg.m/s$

Thus, the S.I unit of momentum is, kg • meters per second

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they

Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

How can energy be converted from one form to another?

Ket [755]

By heat or change in matter,
there can be different reactions that create heat (like exothermic or endothermic reactions)
or movement can give off energy too,
energy is basically just heat

If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?

Tamiku [17]

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

$R=A=B$

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

$R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°$

Hence, we have that the angle between the vectors is 120°. The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°

What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.
