What is the momentum of a 3 kg bowling ball moving at 3 m/s?

nadezda [96]

Answer: 9kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 3 kg

Speed by which ball moves = 3 m/s. Linear momentum of the ball = ?

Since momentum refers to the quantity of motion of the moving ball,

Linear momentum = Mass x Speed

= 3kg x 3m/s

= 9 kgm/s

Thus, the linear momentum of the ball is 9kgm/s

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th

madam [21]

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

$mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg$

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s$

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same

A wire of resistance R is cut into ten equal parts which are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combin

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

Explanation:

Electric Resistance

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}$

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}$

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}$

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}$

Taking the reciprocals:

$R_e=R/100$

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

A rock dropped on the moon will increase it's speed from 0 m/s to 8.15 m/s in about 5 seconds what is the acceleration of the ro

Lunna [17]

Using the formula:

a = (Vf - Vi) / t

Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:

a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5

a = 1.63 m/s^2

If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.
