The definition of momentum.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1PLA

Momentum can be defined as the product of mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

Explanation of Solution

Momentum is a vector quantity and it is the quality of the motion of the object. Momentum can also be defined as the product of mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

Write the formula for momentum

    p=mv

Here, p is momentum, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

Conclusion:

Momentum can be defined as the product of mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

A high-speed lifting mechanism supports an 881 kg object with a steel cable that is 22.0 m long and 4.00 cm^2 in cross-sectional area.  Young's modulus for steel is 20.0 ⋅10^10 Pa.  Determine the elongation of the cable.
Namor, from Wakanda Forever, sits on a throne at the bottom of the ocean in a city called Talocan (and Atlantis in the comics).  Assuming he, including his gold headdress, has a density of 1085 kg/m3 and that Namor is surrounded by salt water with a density of 1027 kg/m3, what is Namor’s normal force while sitting underwater?  Take Namor’s mass as 285. kg and solve as if he has a uniform density.
To get there they need to travel through an area of salt-water, which seems to also be a magical portal, before arriving in a dry area.  Judging by the time Maui and Moana spend falling through the water, it seems they dive 3440. ft deep.  Assume the portal is non-magical salt-water, with a density of 1027 kg/m^3. Given that the air pressure above the portal is 1.013 ⋅10^5 Pa, what is the pressure when they are 3440. ft deep?  1 m = 3.28 ft. Moana would have a surface area of 1.30 m2. How much force would be acting on her at the bottom of this portal?
