Answer:

5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is m and the velocity of that object is v, the linear momentum of that object would be m\, v.

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}.) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}).

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}.

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\  =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}.

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be 5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

How does the particle model indicate positive acceleration and how does it indicate negative acceleration? An example of particl
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

The diagram has a fairly simple explanation. In the top diagram, the space between the particle is increasing. That means that acceleration is increasing. The bottom diagram shows just the opposite. The particle starts off making large "distances" between where the particle is recorded and then the distances between recordings lessens and the particle is slowing down.

Rule: the greater the "distance" between dot positions, the greater the acceleration, because the speed is large.

Top diagram: increasing distance between dots = larger speed. The distance becomes greater as the particle moves to the right.

Bottom diagram: starts off large and decreases as we move from left to right  = - acceleration.

According to Newton's third law of motion, if you push against a wall, the wall will __________.
beks73 [17]
It would be C as the law says "<span>Formally stated, </span>Newton's third law<span> is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object."</span>
