Which is a possible measurement of the momentum of a moving object?

2 answers:

8 0

Momentum is a vector, although we don't hammer on that. In order to completely describe a momentum, you need a magnitude AND a direction ... just like force and velocity.

So choice #2 is the magnitude of a momentum, without its direction.

Choice #3 is the full package, with both the magnitude and the direction.

Choice #1 has units of energy, and choice #4 has units of acceleration, so neither of those can be it.

In 1977 off the coast of Australia, the fastest speed by a vessel on the water

fenix001 [56]

Answer: 154.08 m/s

Explanation:

Average acceleration $a_{ave}$ is the variation of velocity $\Delta V$ over a specified period of time $\Delta t$ :

$a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}$

Where:

$a_{ave}=1.80 m/s^{2}$

$\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o}$ being $V_{o}=0$ the initial velocity and $V_{f}$ the final velocity

$\Delta t=85.6 s$

Then:

$a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{\Delta t}}$

Since $V_{o}=0$ :

$a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}}{\Delta t}}$

Finding $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=a_{ave} \Delta t$

$V_{f}=(1.80 m/s^{2})(85.6 s)$

Finally:

$V_{f}=154.08 m/s$

2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m

Travka [436]

Answer: Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

Explanation:

To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.

This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:

Wave base = $\frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}$

We are given:

Wavelength = 24 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Wave base = $\frac{24m}{2}=12m$

Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves
