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

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! :)

A long coaxial cable consists of an inner cylindrical conductor with radius a and an outer coaxial cylinder with inner radius b

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Part b)

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Part d)

As we know that due to induction of charge there will be same charge appear on the inner and outer surface of the cylinder but the sign of the charge must be different

On the inner side of the cylinder there will be negative charge induce on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the cylinder there will be same magnitude charge with positive sign.

Explanation:

Part a)

By Guass law we know that

$\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Part b)

Outside the outer cylinder we will again use Guass law

$\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Part d)

As we know that due to induction of charge there will be same charge appear on the inner and outer surface of the cylinder but the sign of the charge must be different

On the inner side of the cylinder there will be negative charge induce on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the cylinder there will be same magnitude charge with positive sign.
