$acceleration = \frac{ v_{2}- v_{1} }{t} = \frac{5-20}{5} =-3m/s^{2}$

If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?

puteri [66]

The general formula is: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself. I hope so:

Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)

New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

   = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

   = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original momentum).

Each of the following diagrams shows a spaceship somewhere along the way between Earth and the Moon (not to scale); the midpoint

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3$

Where $F_i$ represent the force for each of the 5 cases $i -1,2,3,4,5$ presented on the figure attached.

Explanation:

For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem

We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.

Th formula is given by:

$F = G \frac{m_{Earth} m_{Spaceship}}{r^2}$

Where G is a constant $G = 6.674 x10^{-11} m^2/ (ks s^2)$

$m_{Earth}$ represent the mass for the earth

$m_{spaceship}$ represent the mass for the spaceship

$r$ represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship

For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.

Based on this case we can create the following rank:

$F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3$

Where $F_i$ represent the force for each of the 5 cases $i -1,2,3,4,5$ presented on the figure attached.

Newton’s second law of motion addresses the relationship between what two variables that influence the force on a body?

Helen [10]

Answer:

A. Mass and acceleration

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force. A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.
