Why does a rocket have such great momentum even if it is moving at a slow speed?

Answer:

Rockets provide a wonderful example of Momentum Conservation. As momentum in one direction is given to the rocket's exhaust gases, momentum in the other direction is given to the rocket itself.

Explanation:

First, think of two masses connected by a lightweight (massless!) compressed spring. When the two spring apart, conservation of momentum tells us the Center of Mass remains where it was (or moving as it was).

PTot,i = p1i + p2i = 0 + 0 = 0

PTot,f = p1f + p2f = PTot,i = 0

p1f + p2f = - m1 v1f + m2 v2f = 0

Momentum of an object is the product of two quantities:

Momentum = (the object's mass) times (the object's speed)

If one of these quantities is small, the momentum can still be large if the other quantity is huge.

A rifle bullet is a great example of this idea.  The bullet has a small mass ... maybe only a few grams ... but it gets shot out of the rifle with such a high speed that when you multiply (mass)x(speed), the bullet has enough momentum to knock a big person down off his feet.

1)the magnetic field is strongest near_________of a bar magnet.
horrorfan [7]
1. Is A. at the poles because thats where the magnetic field is going out then coming back into the earth to produce the magnetic field.
2. Again its A. because the compass needle is attracted to " north " which is magnetic south. It does this because opposites attract.
3. This one would be B. Because if the magnets were being repelled the magnetic field lines would look like there was a line that the field hit and bounced off of it.
4. This answer is A. the magnetite helps them migrate so they know which way is north and which way is south.
5. This answer is A. Because without the domains there wouldn't be poles on the magnetic object. <span />

Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catherines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines.
Schach [20]

Lindsay should fly the plane in the direction [W 12.5° S] to get Hamilton.

Using Sine rule to solve this question

Sine rule => SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c = constant

The magnitude of wind is 50 with an angle of 60 degrees.

The magnitude of plane is 200 and the angle at which it should fly is unknown and should be θ.

One side is 50 km/hr at an angle of 60 degrees.

sin 60°/200 = sin θ / 50

50 × sin 60° = 200 × sin θ

√3/2 = 4 × sin θ

√3/8 = sin θ

sin θ = 0.2165

θ = sin⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.5°

So Lindsay have to fly the plane in the direction of [W 12.5° S].
