Which has a greater momentum: a ship weighing kg that is tied to a dock or a raindrop weighing kg that is falling from a cloud?

Physics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: A raindrop

Explanation:

It would be a raindrop depending on if the ship is moving or not. If the ship is not moving, then the raindrop would have more momentum. But, if the ship were moving, then it would have more momentum. Because momentum equals mass times velocity.

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 85 N when the elevator is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance force ( W ) = 85 N

a)  moving upward with constant velocity (V ) = 7.9 m/s.

The reading will not change since it is moving with constant velocity

  W = 85 N

b) Moving upward with V = 7.9 m/s and decelerating at the rate of (a ) = 1.1 m /s²

The net force ( F ) = W - ma

where m = W/g = 85/9.81 = 8.6646 kg

F = 85 - 8.6646 * 1.1 = 75.4689 N

The ratio of the number of pigs to the number of horse in a farm is 2 to 3 (2:3), if therected are 24 horses, what is the number
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

16 pigs

Explanation:

Let the horses be H.

Let the pigs be P

Let the total number of animals be x.

Given the following data;

Ratio of P to H = 2:3 = 2 + 3 = 5

Number of horses = 24

To find the number of pigs;

First of all, we would determine the total number of animals x.

From the ratio of horse, H:

3/5 * x = 24

Cross-multiplying, we have;

3x = 120

x = 120/3 = 40

Next, we find the number of pigs;

Pigs = 2/5 * 40

Pigs = 80/5 = 16 pigs

The height of a cone is increasing at a rate of 10 cm/sec and its radius is decreasing so that its volume remains constant. How
ki77a [65]

Answer:

dr/dt = -2 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h (1)

  • r is the radius
  • h is the height

Let's take the derivative with respect to time in each side of (1).

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^{2}h)=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h+r^{2}\frac{dh}{dt} \right) (2)

We know that:

  • dh/dt = 10 cm / s (rate increasing of height)
  • dV/dt = 0 (constant volume means no variation with respect of time)
  • r = 4 cm
  • h = 10 cm

We can calculate how fast is the radius changing using the above information.

0=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left( 2\cdot 4\cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \cdot 10 + 4^{2}\cdot 10)\right  

Therefore dr/dt will be:

\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{160}{80}=-2 cm/s

The minus signs means that r is decreasing.

I hope it helps you!
