A bullet has a mass of 8 grams and a muzzle velocity of 340m/sec. A baseball has a mass of 0.2kg and is thrown by the pitcher at

40m/sec. What is the momentum of the baseball? What is the momentum of the bullet?

Answer:

Momentum of bullet

P = 2.72 kg m/s

momentum of baseball

P = 8 kg m/s

Explanation:

As we know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity

here we know that

mass of the bullet = 8 gram

velocity of bullet = 340 m/s

momentum of the bullet is given as

P = mv

P = (\frac{8}{1000})(340)

P = 2.72 kg m/s

Now we have

mass of baseball = 0.2 kg

velocity of baseball = 40 m/s[/tex]

momentum of baseball is given as

P = (0.2)(40)

P = 8 kg m/s

Conservation of momentum: total momentum before = total momentum after

Momentum = mass x velocity

So before the collision:
4kg x 8m/s = 32
1kg x 0m/s = 0
32+0=32

Therefore after the collision
4kg x 4.8m/s = 19.2
1kg x βm/s = β
19.2 + β = 32

Therefore β = 12.8 m/s

The charge on the square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is Q. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D) Q/2

Explanation:

The relationship between charge Q, capacitance C and voltage drop V across a capacitor is

Q=CV (1)

In the first part of the problem, we have that the charge stored on the capacitor is Q, when the voltage supplied is V. The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where \epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity, A is the area of the plates, d is the separation between the plates.

Later, the voltage of the battery is kept constant, V, while the separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled: d'=2d. The capacitance becomes

C'=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d'}=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{2d}=\frac{C}{2}

And therefore, the new charge stored on the capacitor will be

Q'=C'V=\frac{C}{2}V=\frac{Q}{2}

ou are pushing a 20-kg box along a horizontal floor. Friction acts on the box. When you apply a horizontal force of magnitude 48
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the frictional force is 48.02 N

Explanation:

Mass of box = 20 kg

Weight of the box (Normal reaction) = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 20 ×9.8 = 196 N

Horizontal force applied = 48 N

Coefficient of friction = horizontal force ÷ normal reaction = 48 ÷ 196 = 0.245

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal reaction = 0.245 × 196 N = 48.02 N

True or false <br> Momentum, like velocity, is described by both a direction and a force
VARVARA [1.3K]

Yes, momentum, like velocity, has a direction, and is a vector. (even though it isn't mentioned very often in these high-school problems).  

Its direction is the same as the direction of the velocity that it's made of.

But the statement is a bit sloppy . . . It's true that momentum has a direction just like velocity has.  But neither of them involves "a force".

Velocity is a direction with a SPEED.

Momentum is a direction with a product of (mass) x (velocity).
