You have 2 objects flying towards you. One of them is havier with lower velocity and the other one is lighter but has higher vel

ocity. In both cases the momentum is the same. Which one would be easier to catch/stop. Explain why.

Answer: I would say the object with the Lower velocity because Lighter with Higher velocity makes it heavy, velocity is how heavy something is so the lighter it is the less difficult it will be to catch.

One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given dista
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

(a) 0.94 m/s²

(b) g (planet) = 0.096g

Explanation:

(a)

From Newton's equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... equation 1

Making g the subject of equation 1

g =( S - ut)/t² ........................ equation 2

Where  s = distance ( m), u = initial velocity (m/s), t = time (s), g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

From the question, S = 12.02 m, t = 3.58 s, u= 0 ( at rest),

Substituting these values in equation 2

g = {12.02 -(0×3.58)}/3.58²

g = (12.02)/12.82

g = 0.94 m/s²

∴ The acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 0.94 m/s²

(b) g (planet)/g (earth) = 0.94/9.80

     g (planet) = 0.096 g (earth).

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet in terms of the earth g  is

g (planet) = 0.096g

In still​ water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles ​downstream,
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>

4. How much force is required to stop a 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

F = ma, and a = Δv / Δt.

F = m Δv / Δt

Given: m = 60 kg and Δv = -30 m/s.

a) Δt = 5.0 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (5.0 s)

F = -360 N

b) Δt = 0.50 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.50 s)

F = -3600 N

c) Δt = 0.05 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.05 s)

F = -36000 N
