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
Answer:
3.486 km
Explanation:
Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:
where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.
1) 12.5 N east
There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:
- The applied force of 15 N east, we indicate it with F
- The force of friction of 2.5 N west, we indicate it with
Taking east as positive direction, we can write the two forces has
Therefore, the net force on the box will be:
And the positive sign means the direction is east.
2)
We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:
where
is the net force on the box
m is its mass
a is the acceleration
For the box in this problem,
(east)
m = 5.0 kg
Solving for a, we find the acceleration:
And the direction is the same as the net force (east)
