Answer:
momentum = mass x velocity
Explanation:
So ultimately, find the mass of the object (be careful since this is not the same as weight. Weight is your gravitational pull to the earth. This means that your weight different amounts on different planets. But mass stays the same on all planets, it's what most people call their weight.) and then find the velocity (2 meters/second north, etc.)
Now you can apply this to your problem
Ionizing radiation released from nuclear accidents does cause cancer but there have been only a small number of accidents so determining if it is not safe is a matter of opinion.
Answer:
a) V_f = 25.514 m/s
b) Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis
Explanation:
Given:
- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s
- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2
- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s
Find:
(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?
(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.
Solution:
- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:
V_f = V_i + a*t
V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49
V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i
- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:
V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)
V_f = sqrt(650.9861)
V_f = 25.514 m/s
- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:
tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)
Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)
Q =53.46 degrees
- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.
Pounds
If you are talking about the unit of measurement for weight is that of force it would be Newtons.
