1) The change in the momentum of the small object is given by the difference between its final momentum and its initial momentum:
\Delta p = p_f - p_i
where p_f, p_i are the final and initial momentum of the small object. Substituting the numbers of the problem, we find
\Delta p = - 5kg m/s -(6 kg m/s) = -11 kg m/s
where we put a negative sign in front of pf because the direction of the object after the collision is opposed to its initial direction.

2) The impulse is equal to the product between the force applied to an object and the time interval:
J= F \Delta t (1)
since the force is the product between the mass and the acceration: F=ma, and the acceleration is equal to the change in velocity divided by the time, we can rewrite (1) as 
J=F \Delta t=ma\Delta t=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \Delta t = m \Delta v = \Delta p
So, the impulse is equal to the variation of momentum. Therefore, the impulse exerted on the small object is
J=\Delta p = -11 kg m/s

3) We have to find the final momentum of the large object. Initially, its momentum is zero, because it is at rest. Using the law of conservation of momentum,
p_i + 0 = p_f + P_f
where p_f, p_i are the final and initial momentum of the small object, while P_f is the final momentum of the large object. By substituting the numbers we had before:
P_f = p_i - p_f = 6 kg m/s -(-5 kg m/s) = 11 kg m/s
So, the impulse exerted on the large object is equal to its variation of momentum:
J= \Delta P = P_f - P_i = 11 kg m/s -0 = 11 kg m/s

1. Calculate the average velocity of the following trip. You walk to Pershing Square 58
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

Velocity = displacement / time

v = √((58 m)² + (135 m)²) / (12 min × 60 s/min)

v = 0.20 m/s

In the equation for the gravitational force between two objects, which quantity must be squared?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The distance between the two objects must be squared.

Explanation:

Gravitational force always act between two objects that have mass. The gravitational force is a weak force and attractive in nature.

The force of pull depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between them.

The formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects having masses 'm' and 'M' and separated by a distance 'd' is given as:

F_g=\frac{GmM}{d^2}

Where, 'G' is called the universal gravitational constant and its value is equal to 6.674\times10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}.

Now, from the above formula, it is clear that, the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Thus, the quantity that must be squared in the equation of gravitational force between two objects is the distance 'd'.
