Answer:
The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is .
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg
Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour
Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s
v = 201.16 m/s
We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,
or
So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is . Hence, this is the required solution.
The statement “Impulse is a vector quantity” is true about Impulse.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation: </u>
The object’s action by applied force in a particular time interval, there happens changing in momentum called impulse. It is denoted by a symbol ‘J’ or ‘imp’ and expressed in a unit ‘Ns’. As impulse depends on the acted force, when a collision arises from front, behind or side, the force’s direction would be differed.
So, from this option A is false as impulse is not a force but changing momentum. The unit is not Newton, it is Newton second (Ns). The force direction differs (impulse direction) for each cases of collision, so option D also false. Hence, option B seems to be correct. Vector quantity deals with both direction and magnitude and important in motion study.
