Define momentum in term of mass and velocity​

Physics
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Momentum: It is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its Mass and Velocity.

Explanation:

Definition of momentum :

Momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its Mass and Velocity.

  • Momentum is denoted by p
  • Formula for momentum is
  • p = mass\times velocity
  • Its unit is kg-m/s.

For example:

A bowling ball of large mass moving very slowly can have the same momentum as a cricket ball of small mass that is thrown with a very high velocity

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.
Over [174]
All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity. 

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s. 

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

Bats use a process called echolocation to find their food. This involves giving out sound waves that hit possible prey or food.
cupoosta [38]
The type of waves used by bats are sound waves. Most of the species use their larynx to produce ultrasound waves in the frequency range of 20 to 200 kilohertz.
These sound waves are echoed, reflected, by surroundings, in this case food or prey. These reflections are received by the specialized receptor cells in the ears of bats. The reflections are analyzed by the brain to make an image.
Fun fact: The brain cells of bats are also specialized to better analyze the frequency of ultrasound used by the bat.

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

Fill in the blank. Consider the inverse square law: When light leaves a light bulb, it spreads out over more and more space as i
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of light is inversely proportional to distance from source

I ∝ 1 /r²  where I is intensity and r is distance from source . If I₁ and I₂ be intensity at distance r₁ and r₂ .

I₁ /I₂ = r₂² /r₁²

If r₂ = 4r₁ ( given )

I₁ / I₂ = (4r₁ )² / r₁²

= 16 r₁² / r₁²

I₁ / I₂ = 16

I₂ = I₁ / 16

So intensity will become 16 times less bright .

"16 times " is the answer .
