Answer:

Correct answer: 2) 2p

Explanation:

Momentum

Momentum is a measurement of mass in motion or how much mass is in how much motion. The symbol for momentum is p and is defined as:

p = m . v

Where m is the mass of the object and v is the speed. Note this is the scalar version of the formula because both p and v are vectors.

Suppose the mass of the object is doubled to 2m, then the new momentum is:

p' = (2m) . v = 2 m . v

Or, equivalently:

p' = 2p

Correct answer: 2) 2p

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$\mu =0.75$

Explanation:

Frictional Force

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

$F_c=m.a_c$

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

$F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

$F_r=\mu N$

The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus

$F_r=\mu .m.g$

Equating both forces

$\displaystyle \mu .m.g=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle \mu =\frac{v^2}{rg}$

Substituting the values

$\displaystyle \mu =\frac{19^2}{(49)(9.8)}$

$\boxed{\mu =0.75}$

What is the theory of light?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
