It's used to measure the mass or weight of an object
Given:
Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s
Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s
To Find:
Mass of the dog (m)
Concept/Theory:
- It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
- It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
- It is represented by p.
- It's SI unit is kg m/s
- Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum:
Answer:
By using equation of momentum, we get:
Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg
Answer: Katherine Johnson's knowledge of (mathematics) was instrumental in the return of the Apollo astronauts from the Moon to Earth.
Answer:
(D) None
Explanation:
The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.
Examples of this force at work are;
- The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
- The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
- The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating
The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.
