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

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]2 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

A 97.1 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.63 r
sammy [17]

Answer:

the final angular velocity of the platform with its load is 1.0356 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of circular platform m = 97.1 kg

Initial angular velocity of platform ω₀ = 1.63 rad/s

mass of banana m_{b} = 8.97 kg

at distance r = 4/5  { radius of platform }

mass of monkey m_{m} = 22.1 kg

at edge = R

R = 1.73 m

now since there is No external Torque

Angular momentum will be conserved, so;

mR²/2 × ω₀ = [ mR²/2 + m_{b} (\frac{4}{5} R)² + m_{m}R² ]w

m/2 × ω₀ = [ m/2 + m_{b} (\frac{4}{5} )² + m_{m} ]w

we substitute

w = 97.1/2 × 1.63 / ( 97.1/2 + 8.97(16/25) + 22.1

w = 48.55 × [ 1.63 / ( 48.55 + 5.7408 + 22.1 )

w = 48.55 × [ 1.63 / ( 76.3908 ) ]

w = 48.55 × 0.02133

w = 1.0356 rad/s

Therefore; the final angular velocity of the platform with its load is 1.0356 rad/s

Acceleration and Force
olga55 [171]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its 3m/s^2 for the acceleration but I don't know the force part sorry .

Explanation:

15m/s - 0m/s divided by 5 s = 3m/s

I'm no expert or anything so I could be wrong but this is the best I can give you. Sorry

You have a motion security light by your door cat runs across the in the light turns on what is the input of the system and what
Neporo4naja [7]
A motion security line is a system that is used to detect motion.
The input for the system is MOTION and the output is LIGHT. That is, when the system detects motion it switch on light.
Remember, an Input is the information that was inserted into a system while the output is the result of the processed information.
