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.

You're on an interplanetary mission, in an orbit around the Sun.  Suppose you make a maneuver that brings your perihelion in closer to the Sun but leaves your aphelion unchanged.  Then you must have   Question 2 options:   sped up at perihelion   sped up at aphelion   slowed down at perihelion   slowed down at aphelion
The force of the quadriceps (Fq) and force of the patellar tendon (Fp) is identical (i.e., 1000 N each). In the figure below angle in blue is Θ and the in green is half Θ (i.e., Θ/2). A) Calculate the patellar reaction force (i.e., R resultant vector is the sum of the horizontal component of the quadriceps and patellar tendon force) at the following joint angles: you need to provide a diagram showing the vector and its components for each part. a1) Θ = 160 degrees, a2) Θ = 90 degrees. NOTE: USE ONLY TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS (SIN/TAN/COS, NO LAW OF COSINES, NO COMPLICATED ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE, ETC. Question A has 2 parts!
