Identical forces act for the same length of time on two different masses. The change in momentum of the smaller mass is

Physics

Answer:

Equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

Explanation:

We are given that

Two difference  masses .

Force act on both masses  for the same length of time.

We have to find the change in momentum of the smaller mass.

Let M and m are two masses

M>m

We know that

Change in momentum for large mass=F\Delta t

Change in momentum for small mass=F\Delta t

Because Force and length of time are same for both masses .

Hence, the change in momentum of smaller mass is equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

A 5 kg rock is raised 28 m above the ground level. What is the change in its potential energy?
marin [14]
Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)
=50(28-0)
=1400 J

A plane has an airspeed of 142 m/s. A 30.0 m/s wind is blowing southward at the same time as the plane is flying. What must be t
const2013 [10]

Answer:

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that

The speed of the airplane ,v= 142 m/s

The speed of the air ,u = 30 m/s

Lets take angle make by airplane from east direction towards north direction is θ .

Now by using diagram ,we can say that

sin\theta =\dfrac{u}{v}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

sin\theta =\dfrac{30}{142}

sin\theta=0.21

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Therefore the angle will be 12.19° .

maks197457 [2]
No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space. 
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.
