Please re-explain the following phrases in terms of momentum

1 answer:

8 0

A. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force : The momentum of an object is constant unless an outside force acts on the object.

B. Force is defined as mass times acceleration : the rate of change of the momentum of a particle is proportional to the force F acting on it, hence the force is equal to <span>mass times acceleration.

C. </span>For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction : <span>to every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. </span>

A sound wave traveling at 340 m/s is generated by a 480 Hz tuning fork.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed of wave = 340 m/s

Frequency = 480 Hz

To find how long is the sound wave, we would determine its wavelength;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a waveform is given by the formula;

Wavelength = velocity/frequency

Wavelength = 340/480

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

The most precise measurement of the speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which of the following values would you use to

Luda [366]

Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Squids propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

v_squid = - 2,286 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved using conservation of the moment, the system is made up of the squid plus the water inside, therefore the force to expel the water is an internal force and the moment is conserved.

Initial moment. Before expelling the water

p₀ = 0

the squid is at rest

Final moment. After expelling the water

$p_{f}$ = M V_squid + m v_water

p₀ = p_{f}

0 = M V_squid + m v_water

c_squid = -m v_water / M

The mass of the squid without water is

M = 9 -2 = 7 kg

let's calculate

v_squid = 2 8/7

v_squid = - 2,286 m / s

The negative sign indicates that the squid is moving in the opposite direction of the water
