“to predict the speed that a coaster will reach before it is ever placed on the track. ... When coaster goes up by height h then its gravitational potential energy increases by the amount m.g.h where m = mass of coaster, h = height of coaster and g = gravitational acceleration due to Earth”

A car with a mass of 2.0×10^3 kg is traveling at 15m/s .what is the momentum of the car ?

Maurinko [17]

Hello,

<span>A car with a mass of 2.0×10^3 kg is traveling at 15m/s. We need to find the momentum of the car. To do so, follow this formula:

p=mv

Where,

p = momentum
m = mass
v = </span>velocity

The cars mass is 2.0E3 and its velocity is 15m/s. Therefore:

p=2.0 x 10^3 *15 or 2000(15)

p=30000

Thus, the cars momentum is 30000 kg m/s

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength, as well as Rayleigh's Criterion or Optical resolution, the optical limit due to diffraction can be calculated empirically from the following relationship,

$sin\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}$
