True or false Momentum, like velocity, is described by both a direction and a force

1 answer:

8 0

Yes, momentum, like velocity, has a direction, and is a vector. (even though it isn't mentioned very often in these high-school problems).

Its direction is the same as the direction of the velocity that it's made of.

But the statement is a bit sloppy . . . It's true that momentum has a direction just like velocity has. But neither of them involves "a force".

Velocity is a direction with a SPEED.

Momentum is a direction with a product of (mass) x (velocity).

<h2>I don't know the answer but I have explanation </h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Science is further treated in a number of articles. For the history of Western and Eastern science, see science, history of. For the conceptualization of science and its interrelationships with culture, see science, philosophy of. For the basic aspects of the scientific approach, see physical science, principles of; and scientific method.Science can be divided into different branches based on the subject of study. The physical sciences study the inorganic world and comprise the fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences. The biological sciences such as biology and medicine study the organic world of life and its processes. Social sciences like anthropology and economics study the social and cultural aspects of human behaviour.Science, any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental laws.</h3>

If an athlete leaps vertically at 4.0m/s, what maximum height does he reach?

joja [24]

Hello
This is a problem of accelerated motion, where the acceleration involved is the gravitational acceleration: $g=-9.81~m/s^2$ , and where the negative sign means it points downwards, against the direction of the motion.

Therefore, we can use the following formula to solve the problem:
$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2gS$
where $v_i=4~m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity of the athlete, $v_f=0$ is the vertical velocity of the athlete at the maximum height (and $v_f=0~m/s$ at maximum height of an accelerated motion) and S is the distance covered between the initial and final moment (i.e., it is the maximum height). Re-arranging the equation, we get
$S= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2g}=0.82~m$
