If you double the velocity of a moving object, how is it's momentum affected?

1 answer:

8 0

Well momentum is = to Mass*Velocity so let's use an example to figure this out

If I weighed 50kg and I was jogging at 3m/s then I broke into a run at 6m/s how will me momentum be affected?
3m/s*50kg=150
6m/s*50kg=300

So as you can see by doubling the velocity you also double the momentum

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto the floor from a height of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If

arlik [135]

Answer:

Part a)

$a = 1260.3 m/s^2$

Part b)

Direction = upwards

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m

then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_1^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.81)(4.0)$

$v_1 = 8.86 m/s$

Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - v_2^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.00)$

$v_2 = 6.26 m/s$

Part a)

Average acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12.0 \times 10^{-3}}$

$a = 1260.35 m/s^2$

Part B)

As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards

So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 14.9 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 107 m from the base

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1) t=1.743 sec

2)Vo=61.388 m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388 m/sec

4)Vf=17.08 m/s

Explanation:

1)From second equation of motion we get

h=Vit+(1/2)gt^2

here in case(a): Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9m,,put these values in above equation to find the time the ball is in motion

14.9=(0)*t+(1/2)(9.8)t^2

t^2=14.9/4.9

t^2=3.040 sec

t=1.743 sec

2) s=Vo*t

Putting values we get

107=Vo*1.743

Vo=61.388 m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388 m/sec

4)From third equation of motion we know that

Vf^2-Vi^2=2gh

here Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9 m

Vf^2=Vi^2+2gh=0+2(9.8)(14.9)

Vf^2=292.04

Vf=17.08 m/s

A 3-kg rock is thrown upward with a force of 200 N at a location where the local gravitational acceleration is 9.79 m/s2 . Deter

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $56.87m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

If we make an analysis of the net force $F_{net}$ of the rock that was thrown upwards, we will have the following:

$F_{net}=F_{up}-W$ (1)

Where:

$F_{up}=200N$ is the force with which the rock was thrown

$W$ is the weight of the rock

Being the weight the relation between the mass $m=3kg$ of the rock and the acceleration due gravity $g=9.79m/s^{2}$ :

$W=m.g=(3kg)(9.79m/s^{2})$ (2)

$W=29.37 N$ (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

$F_{net}=200N-29.37 N$ (4)

$F_{net}=170.63 N$ (5) This is the net Force on the rock

On the other hand, we know this force is equal to the multiplication of the mass with the acceleration, according to Newton's 2nd Law:

$F_{net}=m.a$ (6)

Finding the acceleration $a$ :

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}$ (7)

$a=\frac{170.63 N}{3kg}$ (8)

Finally:

$a=56.87m/s^{2}$

Why do ions stick together?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The ions stick together because of the electrostatic attraction between ions that are near one another.Electrostatic attraction refers to the electrostatic force of long-range interaction occurring between the attractive electrostatic adsorption in aqueous solution with differently charged particles or uncharged particles.

Hope this helps!! ;)
