How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?

Physics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
3 0
Hello there!

The formula for momentum is p=mv.
p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

The mass of a heavy moving van will be much greater than the mass of a motorcycle, so how can they have the same momentum?

They can have the same momentum if the velocity of the moving van is less than the velocity of the motorcycle, or if the velocity of the motorcycle is greater than the moving van (same thing but differently worded)

Let the mass of the moving van be greater than the mass of the motorcycle by a factor of k. In order for the two to have the same momentum, the velocity of the motorcycle must be greater than the velocity of the moving van by the same factor, k.

Hope this helps! :)

Do the planets orbit the sun in a perfect circle
GaryK [48]

Answer:

All the planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun. When planets orbit the Sun, they don’t move around in a perfect circle. They all follow an 'elliptical path', meaning it looks more like an oval.

Two points A=(+16) and B=(-4) At electric potential respectively find:
Damm [24]

Answer:

a. Point A

b. 20 V

c. 100 J

Explanation:

a. Point A is at a higher potential because there is a positive sign in front of its magnitude. Since it is a positive integral value, and has a higher magnitude than point B which is at -4, point A is thus at a higher potential than point B.

b. The potential difference between the two points ΔV = A - B

= +16 V - (-4 V)

= +16 V + 4 V

= + 20 V

c. The work done, W in moving a charge Q across a potential difference ΔV is W = QΔV

So, since Q = 5 C and ΔV = + 20 V  

W = QΔV

= 5 C × (+ 20 V)

= 100 J

Under what conditions will a moving 0.030 kg marble and a moving 2.43 kg rock have the same kinetic energy
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

To have the same kinetic energy the speed of the marble must be 9 times the speed of rock.

Explanation:

The general formula of kinetic energy is given as follows:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of the object

v = speed of the object

So, for the marble and rock to have same kinetic energy, we can write:

K.E_{marble} = K.E_{rock}\\\\\frac{1}{2}m_{marble}v_{marble}^{2} =  \frac{1}{2}m_{rock}v_{rock}^{2}\\\\(0.03\ kg)v_{marble}^{2} = (2.43\ kg)v_{rock}^{2}\\\\taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides:\\v_{marble} = \sqrt{\frac{2.43\ kg}{0.03\ kg}}v_{rock}\\\\v_{marble} = 9\ v_{rock}

<u>Hence, to have the same kinetic energy the speed of the marble must be 9 times the speed of rock.</u>

The energy released from the sun is the result of a nuclear fission reaction?
Ahat [919]
The statement is false because the energy released from the sun is the result of a nuclear fusion reaction. This type of nuclear reaction involves the fusing of two hydrogen nuclei to form a heavier helium atom. The energy involved here is much greater than nuclear fission, and involves higher temperature.
