How can a high school student have more momentum than a truck

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

When truck is at rest while student is under motion

Explanation:

Since it is obvious that the mass of a truck is more than that of a student, we know that momentum is a product of mass and velocity

P=mv where m represent mass, v is velocity. When the student has more speed than that of truck, he exerts more momentum. The only way a student can exert more momentum is by having more speed while the truck is at rest. In such case, the momentum of truck will be zero while momentum of student will have a value

ra1l [238]
Just assume that the sun has the average mass of all the stars
Then divide the mass of the galaxy by the mass of the sun. 
<span>10^30 has 30 zeroes after it. 10^42 has 42 zeroes.

The answer would have 12 zeroes which concludes a trillion stars. </span>

the computer uses more energy. 
(you can multiply all results by 60 to get the energy in J, but it's not necessary for the comparison)

Why is the unit of temperature is called derived unit<br><br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Explanation:

The SI unit of power is the kilogram-meter2 per second cubed, which is called the watt (1 W = 1 kg-m2/s3). Since power is the energy used per unit of time, it is derived as the energy/time quotient.

Kelvin is a fundamental unit! It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles. Hence, we can accept it as a fundamental quantity. Time is said to be a fundamental unit because it is not dependent on one or more units

The longest passenger liner ever built was the France, 66,348 tons and 315.5 long. Suppose its front end passes the edge of a pi
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The back end of the vessel will pass the pier at 4.83 m/s

Explanation:

This is purely a kinetics question (assuming we're ignoring drag and other forces) so the weight of the boat doesn't matter. We're given:

Δd = 315.5 m

vi = 2.10 m/s

a = 0.03 m/s^2

vf = ?

The kinetics equation that incorporates all these variables is:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2aΔd

vf = √(2.1^2 + 2(0.03)(315.5))

vf = 4.83 m/s
