Harrizon [31]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t

Answer:

Momentum is simply the product of mass and velocity. It is represented mathematically as

Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

The S. I unit of momentum is kilograms meter per second i.e Kg.m/s.

Momentum is a vector quantity i.e it has both magnitude and direction.

Momentum of an object is greatly affected my the mass and velocity of the object as we can clear from the equation.

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result
mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

   s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

Suppose that the velocity (in meters per second) of a sky diver falling near the Earth's surface is given by the following expon
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

4.7 s

Explanation:

The complete question is presented in the attached image to this solution.

v(t) = 61 - 61e⁻⁰•²⁶ᵗ

At what time will v(t) = 43 m/s?

We just substitute 43 m/s into the equation for the velocity of the diver and solve for t.

43 = 61 - 61e⁻⁰•²⁶ᵗ

- 61e⁻⁰•²⁶ᵗ = 43 - 61 = -18

e⁻⁰•²⁶ᵗ = (18/61) = 0.2951

In e⁻⁰•²⁶ᵗ = In 0.2951 = -1.2205

-0.26t = -1.2205

t = (1.2205/0.26) = 4.694 s = 4.7 s to the nearest tenth.

Hope this Helps!!!
