Answer:
<em>The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Momentum</u>
Momentum is often defined as <em>mass in motion.</em>
Since all objects have mass, if it's moving, then it has momentum. It can be calculated as the product of the mass by the velocity of the object:
If only magnitudes are considered:
p = mv
The car has a mass of m=1,000 kg and travels at v=35 m/s. Calculating its momentum:
p = 1,000 kg * 35 m/s
p = 35,000 kg.m/s
The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s
The centripetal acceleration is given by
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.
For the car in this problem,
and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.
For the car in this problem,
