Object 1 has a momentum of 10 kg m/s and Object 2 has a momentum of 25 kg m/s. Will it be easier to change the direction of move

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

I think its object 1

Explanation:

Because the object that has more weight has a greater momentum and the lightest object that has a less momentum will be easier to change because its lighter.

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y$ is the instrument's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the instrument's initial position

$V_{o}=15m/s$ is the instrument's initial velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know $y_{o}=0$ and $y=0$ when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

$0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (2)

Finding $t$ :

$0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})$ (3)

$t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}$ (4)

$t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=12s$

You yell into a canyon. You hear the echo in 3 seconds. How long did the sound of your voice travel before bouncing off a cliff?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Explanation:

The sound is an example of mechanical wave, which means that it needs a medium to propagate itself at constant speed. The time needed to hear the echo is equal to twice the height of the canyon divided by the velocity of sound. In addition, the speed of sound through the air at a temperature of 20 ºC is approximately 344 meters per second. Then, the height of the canyon can be derived from the following kinematic formula:

$2\cdot h = v\cdot t$ (1)
