If the total momentum of a system is changing:

Physics
1 answer:
DENIUS [597]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system

Explanation:

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.

P = MV

According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).

F ∝ΔMV

Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system

this is a 3 part questionOn vacation, your 1400-kg car pulls a 560-kg trailer away from a stoplight with an acceleration of 1.85
mamaluj [8]

ANSWER:

(a) 1036 N

(b) -1036 N

(c) 2590 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Mc = 1400 kg

Mt = 560 kg

a = 1.85 m/s^2

(a)

Force by car on trailer:

\begin{gathered} F_c=m\cdot a \\ F_c=560\cdot1.85 \\ F_c=1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}

(b)

\begin{gathered} F_t=-F_c \\ F_t=-1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}

(c)

\begin{gathered} F_n=1400\cdot1.85 \\ F_n=2590\text{ N} \end{gathered}

What term was used to describe the final digit
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before
RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76
