What two things determine an objects momentum

1 answer:

6 0

Momentum is defined as the the product of mass and velocity of an object.

$\boxed{ \bold{momentum= mass \times velocity}}$

So the two things on which determine an object's momentum is:

1. mass of the object

2. velocity of the object

Not a assignment question, just wanna know if scientists know what’s beyond the edge universe

No they don’t. All the pictures we see if the universe are computer generated. Well, most of them are. We don’t exactly know how the milky way looks. It’s just very good guess.

4. Johnny exerts a 3.55 N rightward force on a 0.200-kg box to accelerate it across a low-friction track. If the total resistanc

muminat

a) $15.2 m/s^2$

b) 1.96 N

c) 1.96 N

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of the box, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F=ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force on the box

m is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

Here we have to consider the horizontal direction, which is the one in which the box is moving. The net force is given by:

$\sum F=3.55 N - 0.52 N=3.03 N$

which is the difference between the forward force and the resistive force. Then we have

m = 0.200 kg (mass of the box)

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is:

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{3.03}{0.200}=15.2 m/s^2$

The gravitational force (also called weight) is the force with which an object is pulled by the Earth towards the Earth's centre.

It is given by

$F_g = mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, the gravitational force on the box is:

$F_g=(0.200)(9.8)=1.96 N$

The normal force is the force with which a surface pushes back on an object.

For an object lying on a flat surface, there are two forces acting along the vertical direction:

- The gravitational force, $F_g$ , which pushes the object downward

- The normal force, N, which pushes the object upward

As the object is at rest, the vertical acceleration of the object is zero, therefore according to Newton's second law of motion, the net force must be zero:

$\sum F=F_g-N=0$

Which means that the normal force is equal to the gravitational force:

$N=F_g$

And so, for the box in this problem, the normal force is

$N=1.96 N$

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.

A package was determined to have a mass of 5.7 kilograms. What's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?

Arturiano [62]

1.) The force of gravity is what we call weight, we define it as:
w=mg
w=5,7kg*9,8m/s²
w=55,86kg (b)
2.) We know that:
power=W/t
power=50J/20s
power=2,5Watts (a)
3.) The work done is equal to the potential energy, so:
Epg=mgh
Epg=63kg*9,8m/s²*7m
Epg=4321J
Now we get the power:
power=W/t
power=4321J/5s
power=864Watts
Now:
1HP=746Watts
=1,16HP (b)
4.) We know that:
F=ma
350N=m*10m/s²
m=350N/10m/s²
m=35kg (b)
5.) d.) Aceleration is tha rate of change in velocity, either positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing)
