If momentum is conserved, what happened to velocity when mass changes?

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given in terms of its mass and its velocity. The law of conservation of momentum says that the net momentum of a system remains conserved for an isolated system.

Momentum is given by :

p = m × v

If p is conserved, velocity is inversely proportional to the mass of an object. When mass changes, velocity also changes but inversely.

What is the mass of a stone moving at a speed of 15 m/s and having a monument at 7.1 kg meters per second

adell [148]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.47 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object given it's momentum and velocity can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v} \\$

where

p is the momentum

v is the velocity

We have

$m = \frac{7.1}{15} \\ = 0.4733333...$

We have the final answer as

Explain how you can determine the direction of a magnetic field produced by a wire if you know the diection of the current throu

ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

Right hand thumb rule : Point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the current flow, the direction of curvature of the fingers will give us the direction of the magnetic field produced by current carrying wire. This rule was given by Maxwell.

1) If the current is moving in upward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in anti clock wise direction.

2) If the current is moving in downward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in clock wise direction.

Helium-oxygen mixtures are used by divers to avoid the bends and are used in medicine to treat some respiratory ailments. What p

Temka [501]

Answer:

The percentage by mole of Helium present in the Helium-Oxygen mixture is = 66.6%

Explanation:

From General gas equation.

PV = nRT............................... Equation 1

Where n = number of moles, V = volume, P = pressure, T = temperature, P = pressure, V = volume.

n = mass/molar mass .................. Equation 2

substituting equation 2 into equation 1.

PV = (mass/molar mass)RT

⇒ Mass/molar mass = PV/RT..................... Equation 3

But mass = Density × Volume

⇒ M = D × V.................... Equation 4

Where D = density, M = mass

Substituting equation 4 into equation 3

DV/molar mass = PV/RT............ Equation 5

Dividing both side of the equation by Volume (V) in Equation 5

D/molar mass = P/RT .............. Equation 6

Cross multiplying equation 6

D × RT = P × molar mass

∴ Molar mass = (D × RT)/P.................. Equation 7

Where D = 0.518 g/L , R = 0.0821 atm dm³/K.mol,

T = 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298 K,

P =721 mmHg = (721/760) atm= 0.949 atm

Substituting these values into equation 7

Molar mass = (0.518 × 0.0821 × 298)/0.949

Molar mass = 13.35 g/mole

The molar mass of the mixture is =13.35 g/mole

Let y be the mole fraction of Helium and 1-y be the mole fraction of oxygen.

∴ 13.35 = 4(y) + 32(1-y)

13.35 = 4y + 32 - 32y

Collecting like terms in the equation,

32y - 4y = 32 - 13.35

28y = 18.65

y = 18.65/28

y =0.666

y = 0.666 × 100 = 66.6%

∴The percentage by mole of Helium present in the Helium-Oxygen mixture is = 66.6%
