A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov

ing south at 3.70 m/s; and mass 7.00 kg, moving north at 2.00 m/s. What is the total momentum of the system? Take north as the positive axis. Enter a positive answer if the total momentum is due north and a negative answer if the total momentum is due south.

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

A spring scale hung from the ceiling stretches by 6.1 cm when a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it. The 2.0 kg mass is removed and repl
Hunter-Best [27]

The ideal spring equation is

                               Stretch  =  K  times  Force  .

This says that the stretch is directly proportional to the force.
In simple English, that means that if you double the force, then
you double the stretch, and if you multiply the force by  π  or
any other number, you multiply the stretch by the same number.

So you can always write a proportion for a spring:

                 Stretch₁ / Force₁  =  Stretch₂ / Force₂ .

Part A:

In Part-A of this question, the force is increased to  (2.5 / 2.0) =  1.25 times .

So the stretch is also increased to  1.25 times .

                 (1.25) x (6.1 cm)  =  7.625 cm  .

assuming that voltage remains constant, what happpens to the current in a wire as its diameter decreases?
Nataly_w [17]
A larger diameter wire has lower resistance. A lower resistance wire produces less heat for a given current flowing through it.
