What will be the change in momentum caused by a net force of 120N acting on an object for 2 seconds?

Physics

Vinvika [58]3 years ago
8 0

The change in  momentum is 240 kgm/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Force, F = 120N

Time, dt = 2 sec

Change in momentum, dP = ?

We know,

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

On substituting the value we get:

120 = \frac{dP}{2}\\ \\dP = 240 kgm/s

Therefore, change in  momentum is 240 kgm/s

reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 0.916 km due east, 0
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km    Average velocity: 1.274\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

  • 0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as  direction towards the negative side of X-axis.
  • 0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
  • 3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y  axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑Sx = Ax -0.916 ⇒  ∑Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916

∑Sx = 1.361 km

∑Sy = Ay - 0.918 ⇒ ∑Sy = 3.52sin(49.7) - 0.918

∑Sy = 1.767

The total displacement is calculated using Pythagoeran therorem:

S_{total} =\sqrt{Sx^{2}+ Sy^{2} } ⇒

S_{total} = 2.230 km

With displacement calculated, we can find the average speed as follows:

V = S/t  ⇒  V = \frac{2.230}{1.750}

V = 1.274\frac{km}{h}

Which of the following statements about comets is true? A. Comets rarely fall into an orbit around the Sun. They usually enter t
GREYUIT [131]
<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>

Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be <u>highly eccentric elliptical</u><u> </u>(periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

Therefore, the correct option is C.

A hiker climbs a mountain. Starting at the base of the mountain, he first moved up 520m at a 32.0 degree angle. What is the fina
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Vector</u>

Suppose an object is located at a position  

\displaystyle P_1(x_1,y_1)

and then moves at another position at

\displaystyle P_2(x_2,y_2)

The displacement vector is directed from the first to the second position and can be found as

\displaystyle \vec{d}=

If the position is given as magnitude-angle data ( z , α), we can compute its rectangular components as

\displaystyle x=z\ cos\alpha

\displaystyle y=z\ sin\alpha

The question describes the situation where the initial point is the base of the mountain, where both components are zero

\displaystyle P_1(0,0)

The final point is given as a 520 m distance and a 32-degree angle, so  

\displaystyle x_2=520\ cos32^o= 440.99\ m

\displaystyle y_2=520\ sin32^o=275.6\ m

The displacement is

\displaystyle \vec{d}=
