An ant can have more momentum than an elephant when the elephant is standing still.

Answer: A

Explanation

The momentum is the quantification of the movement done by an object.

It is found to be dependent on the mass of the object and the velocity with which it is moving.

In the present case, the ant has negligible mass compared to elephant so the momentum can be more for ant only when the velocity with which the elephant is moving tends to be zero.

As the velocity of elephant will be zero, the momentum of elephant will be zero so in this criteria, the moving ant will be having more momentum compared to elephant with zero velocity.

So an elephant with zero velocity means the elephant is standing still.

Thus, the condition in which the ant will be having more momentum compared to elephant is when the elephant stands still.

An ant will have more or higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

Explanation:

The term momentum is called as product of mass m  of an object and its velocity  \overrightarrow v for which it moves and the momentum can be denoted by vector quantity \overrightarrow p .

The object whose product of mass and the velocity are higher; its momentum will be more.

If elephant stands still, means its velocity is equal to zero, then product of its mass and velocity will be zero. Hence, it will have zero momentum.

Since, the mass of ant is insignificantly small but have velocity for moving. So, the ant have small momentum but somewhat greater than zero.

Therefore, the ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

If an ant will stand still it have zero velocity, so the momentum will be equal to zero. Hence, this option is also incorrect.

The option “The elephant has much high mass” is incorrect because having high mass but zero velocity will result in no momentum.

Thus, an ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant is standing still.

A 600kg car is moving at 5 m/s to the right and elastically collided with a stationary 900 kg car. What is the velocity of the 9
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision is } 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Explanation:

It says “Momentum before the collision is equal to momentum after the collision.” Elastic Collision formula is applied to calculate the mass or velocity of the elastic bodies.

m_{1} v_{1}=m_{2} v_{2}

\mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2} \text { are masses of the object }

\mathrm{v}_{1} \text { velocity before the collision }

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision }

\mathrm{m}_{1}=600 \mathrm{kg}

\mathrm{m}_{2}=900 \mathrm{kg}

\text { Velocity before the collision } v_{1}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

600 \times 5=900 \times v_{2}

3000=900 \times v_{2}

\mathrm{v}_{2}=\frac{3000}{900}

\mathrm{v}_{2}=3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision is } 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N

Two objects 5 kg and 7 kg are attached to the end of inextensible string which passes over frictionless pulley
Bumek [7]

Answer:

ans:

tenson(T) = 20 N

acceleration (a) = 2.86 m/s

Explanation:

T + mg = Mg

T = Mg - mg

T = g( M - m )

T = 10× ( 7-5 )

T = 20 N

again;

T = 20

Ma = 20

a = 20 / 7

= 2.86 m/s

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st
wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N
