Is there ever a situation where an ant will have more momentum than an elephant? Explain why or why not?

Physics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]2 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We know that an elephant has a mass much larger than the mass of an ant. However, we see that the momentum of the animal also depends on its velocity.

If the elephant is at rest, its velocity is zero:

v = 0

so its momentum is also zero:

p = 0

And therefore, an ant which is moving (so, non-zero speed) can have more momentum than an elephant, if the elephant is at rest.

What is the period of oscillation of a mass 40kg on a spring with constant k=10N/m?
iVinArrow [24]

The period of oscillation of the system is 12.56 s

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a spring-mass system is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where

m is the mass attached to the spring

k is the spring constant

For the system in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

k = 10 N/m

Substituting into the equation, we find

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{40}{10}}=12.56 s

a toy car travels from A to B at constant speed 30km/hr and without stopping at B return A at constant speed v. if the average s
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Speed BA = 18 km/hr.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed AB = 30km/hr

Speed BA = x km/hr

Average speed = 24 km/hr

To find the value of x;

Average speed = (Speed AB + Speed BA)/2

Substituting into the equation, we have

24 = (30 + x)/2

48 = 30 + x

x = 48 - 30

x = 18 km/hr

The velocity of the water in the pipe at right is given by V1 = 0.5t m/s and V2 = 1.0t m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A) At point 1, local acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, local acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

B) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

Explanation:

Local acceleration at those points is the instantaneous acceleration at those points and it is given as

a = dv/dt

At point 1, v₁ = 0.5 t

a₁ =dv₁/dt = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, v₂ = 1.0 t

a₂ = dv₂/dt = 1.0 m/s²

b) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = (change of velocity between the two points)/time

Change of velocity between the two points = v₂ - v₁ = 1.0t - 0.5t = 0.5 t

Time = t

Average acceleration = 0.5t/t = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.
