Answer:
The answers to your questions are given below
Explanation:
A. Definition of momentum.
Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of the mass of the object and its velocity. Mathematically, it expreessed as:
Momentum = mass x Velocity
From the above equation, we can derive the SI unit of momentum as follow:
Mass is measured in Kilogram (Kg)
Velocity is measured in meter per second (ms¯¹).
Momentum = mass x Velocity
Momentum = Kg x ms¯¹
Momentum = Kg•ms¯¹
Therefore, the SI unit of momentum is Kg•ms¯¹.
Bi. Determination of the force of the body from O to A.
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Velocity (v) = 40 ms¯¹
Time (t) = 2 secs.
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the body.
Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /Time (t)
a = v /t
Velocity (v) = 40 ms¯¹
Time (t) = 2 secs.
Acceleration (a) =.?
a = v/t
a = 40/2
a = 20 ms¯²
Now, we can obtain the force as follow:
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Acceleration (a) = 20 ms¯²
Force (F) =?
Force (F) = mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
F = ma
F = 5 x 20
F = 100 N
Therefore, the force of the body from O to A is 100 N.
Bii. Determination of the force of the body from B to C.
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Velocity (v) = 40 ms¯¹
Time (t) = 10 – 6 = 4 secs.
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the body.
Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /Time (t)
a = v /t
Velocity (v) = 40 ms¯¹
Time (t) = 4 secs.
Acceleration (a) =.?
a = v/t
a = 40/4
a = 10 ms¯²
Now, we can obtain the force as follow:
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Acceleration (a) = 10 ms¯²
Force (F) =?
Force (F) = mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
F = ma
F = 5 x 10
F = 50 N
Therefore, the force of the body from B to C is 50 N.
