Centripetal force is equal to (mv^2)/r
The way I use to answer these question is to set every variable to 1
m=1
v=1
r=1
so centripetal force =1
then change the variable we're looking at
and since we're find when it's half we could either change it to 1/2 or 2, but 2 is easier to use
m=1
v=2
r=1
((1)×(2)^2)/1=4
So the velocity in the 1st part is half the velocity in the 2nd part and the centripetal force is 4× less
The answer is the centripetal force is 1/4 as big the second time around

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ( $\Delta t$ ):

$J=F \Delta t$ (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F=ma$

So, (1) becomes

$J=ma \Delta t$

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

$J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v$

And the quantity $m\Delta v$ is equivalent to the change in momentum, $\Delta p$ .
