Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?

Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

When the space shuttle coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed about the earth, is it accelerating? if so, in what directio
pochemuha
Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

Two cars are moving towards each other and sound emitted by first car with real frequency of 3000 hertz is detected by a person
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

 v ’= 21.44 m / s

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise that changes the frequency of the sound due to the relative movement of the source and the observer, the expression that describes the phenomenon for body approaching s

           f ’= f (v + v₀) / (v-v_{s})

where it goes is the speed of sound 343 m / s, v_{s} the speed of the source v or the speed of the observer

in this exercise both the source and the observer are moving, we will assume that both have the same speed,

                v₀ = v_{s} = v ’

we substitute

               f ’= f (v + v’) / (v - v ’)

               f ’/ f (v-v’) = v + v ’

               v (f ’/ f -1) = v’ (1 + f ’/ f)

               v ’= (f’ / f-1) / (1 + f ’/ f) v

               v ’= (f’-f) / (f + f’) v

let's calculate

                v ’= (3400 -3000) / (3000 +3400) 343

                v ’= 400/6400 343

                v ’= 21.44 m / s
