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

A 5 kg object moving to the right at 4 m/s collides inelastically with a 5 kg object
skad [1K]

Answer:

The linear momentum of a particle with mass m moving with velocity v is defined as

p = mv (7.1)

Linear momentum is a vector . When giving the linear momentum of a particle you must

specify its magnitude and direction. We can see from the definition that its units must be

kg·m

s

. Oddly enough, this combination of SI units does not have a commonly–used named so

we leave it as kg·m

s

!

The momentum of a particle is related to the net force on that particle in a simple way;

since the mass of a particle remains constant, if we take the time derivative of a particle’s

momentum we find

dp

dt = m

dv

dt = ma = Fnet

so that

Fnet =

dp

dt (7.2)

Define and explain the Police Power
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Police powers are the fundamental ability of a government to enact laws to coerce its citizenry for the public good, although the term eludes an exact definition. The term does not directly relate to the common connotation of police as officers charged with maintaining public order, but rather to broad governmental regulatory power. Berman v. Parker, a 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case, stated that “public safety, public health, morality, peace and quiet, law and order. . . are some of the more conspicuous examples of the traditional application of the police power”; while recognizing that “an attempt to define police powers reach or trace its outer limits is fruitless.”

A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to
kow [346]

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

Explain how to find the acceleration of an object that has one-dimensional horizontal motion.
Nostrana [21]
