How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer

1 answer:

6 0

We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad

Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)

a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)

d = 80×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)

Vf = ±4m/s

Reject the negative root.

Vf = 4m/s

The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

m = 10kg

v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)

Plug in the values and solve for p:

p = 10(4)

p = 40kg×m/s

A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 l to 2.0 l by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. calculate the amount of w

jok3333 [9.3K]

First, we need to convert the pressure in SI units. Keeping in mind that $1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa$ :
$p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa$

The initial and final volume of the gas are (keeping in mind that $1.0 L = 0.001 m^3$ ):
$V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3$
$V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3$

So, the work done on the gas by the surrounding is
$W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J$
And the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.
