Answer:

120 kg•m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Case 1

Mass of object = M

Velocity of object = V

Momentum = 15 kg•m/s

Case 2

Mass of object = 2M

Velocity of object = 4V

Momentum = ?

Momentum is defined as follow:

Momentum = mass × velocity

The momentum of object in case 2 can be obtained as follow:

From case 1

Momentum = mass × velocity

15 = M × V

15 = MV ....... (1)

From case 2:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 2M × 4V

Momentum = 8MV ....... (2)

Finally , substitute the value of MV in equation 1 into equation 2.

Momentum = 8MV

MV = 15

Momentum = 8 × 15

Momentum = 120 kg•m/s

Therefore, an object with a mass of 2M and 4V would have a momentum of 120 kg•m/s

A force of 30.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 3.00 seconds. Calculate the velocity experienced by the object.

olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma and

$a=\frac{v}{t}$

We have F, we have m, but in order to solve for v, we need a.

30.0 = 3.00a so

a = 10.0 m/s/s. Plug that in for a in the second equation and solve for v:

$10.0=\frac{v}{3.00}$ so

v = 10.0(3.00) so

v = 30.0 m/s

Harry and ron set up this experiment with a glider, whose mass they have measured to be 565 g, and seven washers hanging from th

svetlana [45]

Let's call $m=565~g=0.565~kg$ the mass of the glider and $m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg$ the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
$F_{net} = m_w g$
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is $m+m_w$ ) and the acceleration a:
$F_{net}=(m+m_w)a$
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
$m_w g = (m+m_w)a$
and from this we can find the acceleration:
$a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2$

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.
