Why momentum is a property of moving objects but not of stationary objects

Physics

ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
6 0

Momentum is a property of moving objects but not stationary objects. You can see this in the formula because momentum equals mass times velocity squared (p=m*v^2). You would not have momentum if you didn't have velocity. Stationary objects have potential energy, and things with potential energy do not have velocity. This is why momentum is a property of moving objects but not of stationary objects.

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

The magnitude of each force is 208 N the force on the right is applied at an angle 36° and the mass of the block is 17 kg the co
djyliett [7]

Answer:

<em>11.06m/s²</em>

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law of motion

\sm F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - \mu R mgcos \theta = ma_x\\

Given

Mass m = 17kg

Fm = 208N

theta = 36 degrees

g = 9.8m/s²

a is the acceleration

Substitute

208 - 0.148(17)(9.8)cos 36 = 17a

208 - 24.6568cos36 = 17a

208 - 19.9478 = 17a

188.05 = 17a

a = 188.05/17

a = 11.06m/s²

<em>Hence the  the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 11.06m/s²</em>

Two students below described a part of Earth's innermost layer:
Molodets [167]
The answer to your question is B- They both described the inner part otherwise known as the inner core.

The inner core is hotter than the surface of the sun. The inner core is made out of iron and nickel.  The inner core is extremely hot and is the last layer.  It is a solid because of all the pressure from the other layers putting there weight onto this layer.

Warm air is more dense than cool air. Warm air is less dense than cool air Warm air and cool air have the same density
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

You are exactly right. The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less

A heat engine exhausts 3 000 J of heat while performing 1 500 J of useful work. What is the efficiency of the engine
amid [387]

efficiency=work output/work input×100

since it exhausts(use up)3000j of heat that's the work input and the 1500j is the work input

efficiency=1500/3000×100

=50%
