Answer:
Explanation:
Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.
Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:
Where is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when
is equal to one, solving for r:
Answer:
Total momentum = 50kgm/s
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass, M1 = 5kg
Mass, M2 = 7kg
Velocity, V1 = 10m/s
Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).
To find the total momentum;
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.
Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0
Total momentum = 50 + 0
<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>
<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>
