What is the equation for momentum? Please help need answer ASAP.

Leona [35]

Momentum is mass in motion and only applies to objects in motion. It's a term that describes a relationship between the mass and velocity of an object, and we can see this when it is written in equation form, p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s.

Which type of wave has a longer wavelength: AM radio waves (with frequencies in the kilohertz range) or FM radio waves (with fre

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

AM has longer wavelength

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by

v = f x λ

Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.

It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.

So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.

A dragster starts with zero velocity and completes a 404.5 m (0.2528 mile) run in 4.922 s. If the car had a constant acceleratio

KIM [24]

Answer:

a. a=33.34ms⁻², V=164.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the dragster started with zero velocity, de determine the acceleration using of the equations of motion.

Below are the data given

Distance, s=404.5m,

time taken,t=4.922secs

Using the equation

S=ut+1/2at²

where u is the initial velocity and u=0

Making the acceleration the subject of the formula, we arrive at

a=2s/t²

a=(2*404.5)/4.922²

a=33.34ms⁻².

To determine the velocity, we use

V=u+at

V=0+33.34ms⁻² *4.922sec

V=164.4m/s

A raindrop of mass 0.5 * 10^-4 kg is falling verctically under the influence of gravity. The air drag on the raindrop is fdrag =

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The displacement of the air drop after 3 second is 18.27 m.

Explanation:

Mass of the rain drop = m = $0.5\times 10^{-4} kg$

Weight of the rain drop = W

Duration of time = t = 3 seconds

$W=m\times g$

Drag force on rain drop = $D=0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2$

$W=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\time 10 m/s^2=0.5\times 10^{-3} N$

Motion of the rain drop:

$F=m\times a$

Net force on the rain drop , F= W - D

$W-D=m\times a$

$0.5\times 10^{-3} N-0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\times a$

$0.5\times 10^{-3} kg m/s^2-0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\times \frac{v}{t}$

$0.006v^2+0.05v-1.5=0$

v = 12.18 m/s

Initial velocity of the rain drop = u = 0 (since, it is starting from rest)

v=u+at (First equation of motion)

$12.18 m/s=0m/s+a\times 3 s$

$a=4.06 m/s^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ (second equation of motion)

$s=0\times 3s+\frac{1}{2}\times 4.06m/s^2\times (3 s)^2$

s = 18.27 m

The displacement of the air drop after 3 second is 18.27 m.

2 76 Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of elec- (tricity per year and 3400 L of fuel oil during a heating sea- son. The

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The total amount of CO₂ produced will be = 20680 kg/year

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year = 3102 kg/year

Explanation:

Given:

Power used by household = 14000 kWh

Fuel oil used = 3400 L

CO₂ produced of fuel oil = 3.2 kg/L

CO₂ produced of electricity = 0.70 kg/kWh

Now, the total amount of CO₂ produced will be = (14000 kWh × 0.70 kg/kWh) + (3400 L × 3.2 kg/L)

⇒ The total amount of CO₂ produced will be = 9800 + 10880 = 20680 kg/year

Now,

if the usage of electricity and fuel oil is reduced by 15%, the reduction in the amount of the CO₂ emission will be = 0.15 × 20680 kg/year = 3102 kg/year
