Answer:

Momentum

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the product of velocity of a moving body and its mass.

In this case we have two fishes with same velocity but different masses hence their momentum will also be different.

So as per the definition,  p = m * v

where p is the momentum

m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of object.

for comparison let us consider p1 is the momentum of first fish and p2 is the momentum of second fish.

p1 = 5 * 10

   = 50 kg m/s

and p2 = 2 * 10

            = 20 kg m/s

hence momentum of p1 is greater than momentum of p2

P = m.v
p1 = 5x10 = 50 <span>kg. m/s
p2 = 2x10 = 20 </span><span>kg. m/s
so the momentum of the first fish is higher than the second one.

What is the minimum speed with which he’d need to run off the edge of the cliff to make it safely to the far side of the river?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The answer is

A. Yes, the obtained speed is less than the world record

The explanation:

when the obtained speed is 6 m /s

and the world record speed = distance / time = 100 m / 10 s = 10 m/s

So, Yes, the obtained speed is less than the world record

Not only is it less, its also a reasonable average speed for a somewhat athletic person. Therefore, the leap is entirely possible.

-Samuel Brady gained his lasting notoriety for his leap over the Cuyahoga River around 1780 in what is now Kent, Ohio. After following a band of Indians into the Ohio country, a failed ambush attempt resulted in the band chasing Brady near the Cuyahoga River. To avoid capture, Brady leaped across a 22-foot (6.7 m) wide gorge of the river (which was widened considerably in the 1830s for construction of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal) and fled to a nearby lake where he hid in the water under a fallen tree using a reed for air.

1. Find the mass of an object with velocity 25 m/s and with a momentum 95<br> kg.m/s.
leonid [27]

Answer:

m = 3.8 kg

Explanation:

p = m × v

95 = m × 25

25m = 95

m = 95/25

m = 3.8 kg

The centripetal force of an object of mass m is given by F(r)=mv2r, where v is the speed of rotation and r is the distance from
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

\frac{dF}{dr} = -4.82

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal force is given as

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

now we will have to find the rate of change in force with respect to its radial distance

so we have

\frac{dF}{dr} = - \frac{mv^2}{r^2}

so we have

m = 1000 kg

v = 13.89 m/s

r = 200 m

now we have

\frac{dF}{dr} = -\frac{1000(13.89^2)}{200^2}

\frac{dF}{dr} = -4.82
