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 mass times acceleration.

C. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction : to every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

Why do the graphs differ?

melisa1 [442]

Well first graph represents rectangular hyperbola

vu = c^2 ( c is constant)

AS 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Take1/ f to be constant c

1/v = c - 1/u

it is of the form y = - x + k

Slope = -1 having intercept k as shown in fig 2

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current i

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The local ocean current is = 1.52 m/s

Direction $\theta$ = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction $V_{x}$ = 1.52 $\cos 40$ °

$V_{x}$ = 1.164 $\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity component in Y - direction $V_{y}$ = 8 + 1.52 $\sin 40$ °

$V_{y}$ = 8.97 $\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

$V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2} }$

Put the values of $V_{x}$ and $V_{y}$ we get,

⇒ $V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2} }$

⇒ V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.

Suppose for your cookout you need to make 100 hamburgers. You know that 2.00 pounds will make 9 hamburgers. How many pounds will

VMariaS [17]

2 pounds = 9 burgers figure out ow many 9's you can get out of 100: 100/9=11 but that only makes 99 you need 100 so we would add another one making 12. now multiply 12 by 2: 12·2=24. You would need 24 pounds of meet :)

What are the steps to find the mass of 30 mL of water ...?

tatuchka [14]

The steps in order to calculate the mass of a given volume of water is to use density. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. Density slightly varies with changes in temperature so that it is important to determine the temperature.
