what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?

We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

If the box is moving at constant velocity, net force must be zero, so:

F + fr = 0

fr = -F

0.10-kilogram model rocket’s engine is designed to deliver an impulse of 6.0 newton-seconds. If the rocket engine burns for 0.75
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

8.0 N

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the mass of a body and its acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton (N).

Mathematically, Fore is expressed as

F = ma ........................... equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

and

I = mΔv

Δv = I/m ............................ Equation 2

Where I = impulse, m = mass, Δv = change in velocity

Given: I = 6.0 Newton-seconds, m = 0.1 kilogram.

Substituting into equation 2

Δv = 6.0/0.1

Δv = 60 m/s.

But

a = Δv/t

where t = time = 0.75 seconds.

a = 60/0.75

a = 80 m/s²

Substitute the values of a and m into equation 1.

F = 0.1(80)

F = 8.0 N.

Thus the average force produced = 8.0 N

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. At what sound frequencies in the audible range will the child have increased heari
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The answer to this is

6600 Hz to 19,800 Hz

Explanation:

The shape of the human ear is analogous to a closed ended pipe hence

we have λ = 4L or wavelength = 4 * length of the child ear

The frequency  c/λ  where c = speed of sound = 343 m/s

hence the child's audible range is multiples of 343/(4*0.13) =6600Hz

or 13200 Hz or 19,800 Hz

The generally quoted range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz

Jasper made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties
Nata [24]

Answer:

Statement 2 is wrong

Explanation:

To check the statements in this exercise, let's describe the main properties of electromagnetic waves. Let's describe the characteristics

* they are transverse waves

* formed by the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

* the speed of the wave is the speed of light

with these concepts let's review the final statements

1) True. Formed by the oscillation of the two fields

2) False. They are transverse waves

3) True. Can travel by vacuum as they are supported by oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

4) True. They all have the same speed of light

Statement 2 is wrong
