<u>Momentum</u>
- a vector quantity; has both magnitude and direction
- has the same direction as object's velocity
- can be represented by components x & y.
Find linebacker momentum given m₁ = 120kg, v₁ = 8.6 m/s north
P₁ = m₁v₁
P₁ = (120)(8.6)
[ P₁ = 1032 kg·m/s ] = y-component, linebacker momentum
Find halfback momentum given m₂ = 75kg, v₂ = 7.4 m/s east
P₂ = m₂v₂
P₂ = (75)(7.4)
[ P₂ = 555 kg·m/s ] = x-component, halfback momentum
Find total momentum using x and y components.
P = √(P₁)² + (P₂)²
P = √(1032)² + (555)²
[[ P = 1171.77 kg·m/s ]] = magnitude
!! Finally, to find the magnitude of velocity, take the divide magnitude of momentum by the total mass of the players.
P = mv
P = (m₁ + m₂)v
1171.77 = (120 + 75)v <em>[solve for v]</em>
<em />v = 1171.77/195
v = 6.0091 ≈ 6.0 m/s
If asked to find direction, take inverse tan of x and y components.
tanθ = (y/x)
θ = tan⁻¹(1032/555)
[ θ = 61.73° north of east. ]
The magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision is approximately 6.0 m/s.
Mars is 139.58 million miles away from the sun. mars is red because its soil has iron oxide (rust particles) in it.
Answer:
C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.
Explanation:
When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.
