Answer:

The object’s momentum will greatly increase if the net force acting on the object is greatly increased. So option C is the best statement which describes the change in object momentum.

Explanation:

So as the force is directly proportional to momentum and it is obtained by performing the first order derivation of momentum, the variation in force and momentum will have to be same.

$F = \frac{MomentumChange}{time}$

The force being the derivative of momentum indicates that if the net force acting on object is greatly increased means the momentum will also be undergoing great increase as the acceleration of the object will also be increased greatly due to increase of force.

Answer:

Answer C : The object's momentum will greatly increase

Explanation:

Recall that force and linear momentum are closely related by the equation:

$F = \frac{MomentumChange}{time}$

Both, Momentum Change and Force (F) are in the numerator of on either side of the equation, so they are in direct proportionality. A large force (force greatly increased) will be the reflection of a large change in momentum.

ben walks 2 m from his desk to the teachers desk. From the teachers desk he then walks 3 m in the same direction to the classroo

vaieri [72.5K]

Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement = 2m + (-3)m. Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement is 1m behind his original starting point.

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.

Vikentia [17]

The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the Third law that states:

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

 $FA = -FB$
