The concept of momentum tells us that it is equivalent to the product between the mass and the velocity of the object, that is to say that in general it can be written as
Where,
m = mass
v = Velocity
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have that,
Therefore the magniude of the momentum of the pitched baseball is
Answer:
m = 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ kg = 0.22 g
Explanation:
The surface tension of water is 0.072 N/m. So in order for the bug to avoid sinking, its weight per unit length of contact must be no more than the surface tension of water. Therefore,
where,
m = mass of bug = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
L = Contact length = (contact length of each leg)(No. of Legs) = (5 mm)(6)
L = 30 mm = 0.03 m
Therefore,
<u>m = 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ kg = 0.22 g</u>
