Answer:

Fundamental unit is any unit that is not dependent on other units and other units can be derived from them

Explanation:

Units such as Kilogram, Mass and Time are said to be fundamental units because they are independent.

Differences between Mass and weight;

1. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

2. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?

kogti [31]

When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.

John’s mass is 95.6 kg, and Barbara’s is 55.3 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.9 m, while she is standing on the x a

Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john $m_1=95.6 kg$

Mass of barbara $m_2=55.3 kg$

John is standing at $x=10.9 m$

Barbara is standing at $x=2.50 m$

$x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}$

$x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}$

$x_{com}=7.821 m$

Now if they change their Position then

$x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}$

$x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}$

$x'_{com}=5.578$

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of $2.243 m$ because heavier is shifted towards left

An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space. If they were moving toward you with the same speed, w

Dovator [93]

The elephant and the mouse having zero weight in a gravity free space will not bump into you at the same effect.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When both are in a gravity free space, the weights are zero, as we know that the $\text {weight of the body}=\text {mass of the body} \times \text {acceleration due to gravity}$

$\text {here, the weight of elephant}=\text {mass of elephant } \times \text {zero gravti} y=zero$

$\text {similarly,weight of mouse}=\text {mass of mouse } \times \text {zero gravity}=zero$

But when they will acquire the speed of same magnitude, say v, their different masses will acquire different momentum, which will make the difference in effect while bumping.

$\text { momentum of elephant }=\text { mass of elephant } \times v$ $\text { momentum of mouse = mass of mouse } \times v$

And as we know $\text { mass of elephant }>\text { mass of mouse }$ Therefore, effect of impact by elephant will be more than that of mouse . An elephant breaking into you will take you back faster than a mouse in space hits you.

Answer:

$|I|=6\ Kg.m/s$

$F=120\ N$

Explanation:

Impulse and Momentum

They are similar concepts since they deal with the dynamics of objects having their status of motion changed by the sudden application of a force. The momentum at a given initial time is computed as

$p_o=m.v_o$

When a force is applied, the speed changes to $v_1$ and the new momentum is

$p_1=m.v_1$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_1-p_0=m(v_1-v_o)$

The impulse is equal to the change of momentum of an object and it's defined as the average net force applied times the time it takes to change the object's motion

$I=F.t=\Delta p$
