What is the change in momentum of a 50-kg rock that falls freely for 3 seconds?

Physics

Answer:

1470kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the rock = 50kg

Time taken for the free fall  = 3s

Unknown:

Change in momentum = ?

Solution:

The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.

  Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

       Momentum  = mass x velocity

Initial momentum  = 0, the velocity is 0

Final momentum = mass x final velocity

      let us find the final velocity;

                V = U + gt

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

                 V  = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s

So;

 Change in momentum  = 50 x 29,4  = 1470kgm/s

olga55 [171]
The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.
