How do you calculate change in momentum

Physics
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

mv-mu

Explanation:

momentum is the mass by velocity of an object. change in momentum means there was an initial momentum and a final momentum. V represents the final momentum and U represents the initial momentum. So minus the momentum values. (Final momentum (mv) minis initial momentum (mu)

Question 3 of 15
omeli [17]

Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 11 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
shusha [124]

Answer:

- 3.72 Ns.

9.44 m/s

Explanation:

mass of racket, M = 1000 g = 1 kg

mass of ball, m = 60 g = 0.06 kg

initial velocity of racket, U = 11 m/s

initial velocity of ball, u = 18 m/s

final velocity of ball, v = - 44 m/s

Let the final velocity of the racket is V.

(a) Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity of the ball.

initial momentum of the ball = m x u = 0.06 x 18 = 1.08 Ns

Final momentum of the ball = m x v = 0.06 x (- 44) = - 2.64 Ns

Change in momentum of the ball = final momentum - initial momentum

                                                        = - 2.64 - 1.08 = - 3.72 Ns

Thus, the change in momentum of the ball is - 3.72 Ns.

(b) By use of conservation of momentum

initial momentum of racket and ball = final momentum of racket and ball

1 x 11 + 0.06 x 18 =  1 x V - 0.06 x 44

12.08 = V - 2.64

V = 9.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the racket afetr the impact is 9.44 m/s .

What are the consequences of sediment pollution?
Nonamiya [84]
Loss of habitats for fish, birds, and other wildlife. Sediment pollution is one of the leading causes of the loss of the wetlands, but it’s not just the wetlands. Changes in the nutrients in your water. The same problem that affects the fish in your area may also affect you. Other drinking water contamination.
