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

Physics

vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago

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 cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium, He, at room temperature. More helium was added to the cylinder and t
Katen [24]

Answer:

0.358g

Explanation:

Density of Helium = 0.179g/L

ρ=m/v

m=ρv

when the volume was 2L

m1= 0.179*2

m1=0.358g

when the volume increased to 4L

m2= 0.179*4

m2=0.716g

gram of helium added = 0.716g-0.358g

=0.358g

Why is it incorrect to say that astronauts are weightlesS in space while orbiting Earth in a space shuttle?​
Mamont248 [21]

This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.

Monochromatic light falling on two very narrow slits 0.048mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 5.00m away are 6.5cm apart ne
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{Yd}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m

L = screen distance = 5 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.065\ m)(4.8\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m)}{5\ m}

<u>λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm</u>

Now, the frequency can be given as:

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

f = frequency = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{5.85\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\\\

<u>f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz</u>

A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 165cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise

Explanation:

Given data

initial circumference = 165 cm

rate = 12.0 cm/s

magnitude = 0.500 T

tome = 9 sec

to find out

emf induced and direction

solution

we know emf in loop is - d∅/dt    ........1

here ∅ = ( BAcosθ)

so we say angle is zero degree and magnetic filed is uniform here so that

emf = - d ( BAcos0) /dt

emf = - B dA /dt     ..............2

so  area will be

dA/dt = d(πr²) / dt

dA/dt = 2πr dr/dt

we know 2πr = c,

r = c/2π = 165 / 2π

r  = 26.27 cm

c is circumference so from equation 2

emf = - B 2πr dr/dt    ................3

and

here we find rate of change of radius that is

dr/dt = 12/2π = 1.91  10^{-2}cm/s

so when 9.0s have passed that radius of coil = 26.27 - 191 (9)

radius = 9.08 10^{-2} cm

so now from equation 3 we find emf

emf = - (0.500 )  2π(9.08 10^{-2} )   1.91  10^{-2}

emf = - 0.005445

and magnitude of emf = 0.005445 V

so

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise
