- An object has a kinetic energy of 312 J and a momentum of magnitude 29.3 kg · m/s. (a) Find the speed of the object. _____m/s (b) Find the mass of the object. ______kgarrow_forwardIn this problem we will observe how the momentum of an electron changes as its velocity approaches the speed of light. The mass of an electron is 9.109 × 10-31 kg. Part (a) First, what is the momentum of an electron which is moving at the speed of a car on a highway, say 29 m/s, in kilogram meters per second?arrow_forwardMomentum (p) is a quantity with unit kgms−1 . It is thought to be related to the mass (m) and velocity (v) of a particle. Use dimensional analysis to find the relationship among p, m and v.arrow_forward
- In Section 2.4, we computed the force needed to accelerate a 1,000-kg car from 0 to 27 m/s in 10 s. Compute the force using the alternate form of Newton's 2nd law. The change in momentum is the car's momentum when traveling 27 m/s minus its momentum when going 0 m/s.arrow_forwardThe force F acting on a body with mass m and velocity v is the rate of change of momentum: F = (d/dt)(mv). If m is constant, this becomes F = ma, where a = dv/dt is the acceleration. But in the theory of relativity the mass of a particle varies with v as follows: m= mo/NT- v/c², where mo is the mass of the particle at rest and c is the speed of light. Show that moa F = (1 – v*/c*)/²arrow_forwardA snowball is thrown with a speed of 42.0 km/h, giving it momentum with a magnitude of 2.00 Ns. The mass of the snowball, in grams, is what?arrow_forward
- . An object is moving at 30 m/s and has a momentum of 150 kg*m/s. What is its mass?arrow_forwardA particle with kinetic energy equal to 269 J has a momentum of magnitude 28.9 kg · m/s. Calculate the speed (in m/s) and the mass (in kg) of the particle. speed: ____ m/s mass: ____kgarrow_forwardTwo sportscars are driving down the road. The red sportscar traveling straight west has a momentum of 20,000 kg-m/s. The black sportscar traveling straight east has a momentum of 28,000 kg-m/s. They crash (they always do in physics, you know). What is the total momentum after the crash?arrow_forward
- It is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the size of units. Consider each object and calculate the magnitude of their momentum in SI units. A ladybug with mass 32.90 milligrams flies by your head at 4.53 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: A 30.70 km boy walks at 4.27 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: A car with mass 997 kg is moving at a speed of 40.1 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: Based on the previous results, which scenario likely describes an object possessing 1 kg-m/s? a mosquito flying through a swamp a cat walking down a sidewalk a beetle walking across a jungle floor a tiger running after prey an elephant running across a field kg-m/s kg-m/s kg-m/sarrow_forwardA body has a momentum of 80 kg m/s and a kinetic energy of 275 J. Determine the mass of the body.arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of a mallard duck whose speed is 8.8 m/s and whose momentum has a magnitude of 12 kg*m/s?arrow_forward
