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

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

HELP ASAP HELP Two tennis balls of the same mass are served at different speeds: 30 m/s and 60 m/s. Which serve has more kinetic
inna [77]

Answer:

<em>The second ball has four times as much kinetic energy as the first ball.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

Is the type of energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

Two tennis balls have the same mass m and are served at speeds v1=30 m/s and v2=60 m/s.

The kinetic energy of the first ball is:

\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 30^2

\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 900

K_1=450m

The kinetic energy of the second ball is:

\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 60^2

\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3600

K_2=1800m

Being m the same for both balls, the second ball has more kinetic energy than the first ball.

To find out how much, we find the ratio:

\displaystyle \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{1800m}{450m}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{K_2}{K_1}=4

The second ball has four times as much kinetic energy as the first ball.

Traveling waves propagate with a fixed speed usually denoted as v (but sometimes c). The waves are called __________ if their wa
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Periodic.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data.

Generally, a fixed speed is used for the propagation of traveling waves and this speed is usually denoted with the variable "v" or sometimes "c."

Furthermore, if the waveform of a traveling wave is repeated every time at specific intervals T, it is referred to as periodic wave.

Mathematically, the period of a traveling wave is given by the formula;

Period = \frac {1}{T}

Where;

T is the time measured in seconds.

How many joules of kinetic energy does a pendulum have when it has 100 joules of potential energy
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy is 100 j.    

Explanation:

<h3>The kinetic energy = (potential energy) + (kinetic energy) and the potential energy of 0 J implying its kinetic energy is 100 J, which is its maximum. </h3>
