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

VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago

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).

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

in first case the torque is maximum.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance.

τ = F x d x Sinθ

In case A: the angle between force vector and the distance vector is 90 so torque is

τ = F x d

In case B: the angle between force vector and the distance is 30°.

τ = F x d x Sin30

τ = 0.5 Fd

So the torque is maximum in first case.

A 5.0-m radius playground merry-go-round with a moment of inertia of 2000 kg · m 2 is rotating freely with an angular speed of 1
lidiya [134]

Answer:

angular speed = 0.4 rad/s

Explanation:

given data

radius = 5 m

moment of inertia = 2000 kg-m²

angular speed = 1.0 rad/s

mass = 60 kg

to find out

angular speed

solution

Rotational momentum of merry-go-round = I?

we get here momentum that is express as  

momentum = 2000 × 1

momentum = 2000 kg-m²/s

and  

Inertia of people will be here as

Inertia of people = mr² = 60 × 5²

Inertia of people = 1500 kg-m²

so Inertia of people for two people  

1500 × 2 = 3000

and

now conserving angular momentum(ω)

moment of inertia × angular speed = ( momentum + Inertia of people ) angular momentum  

2000 ×  1 = (2000 + 3000 ) ω

solve we get now  

ω = 0.4 rad/s

Which is an example of electrical energy being converted or changed into light energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]
When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.

Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.
