Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1RCQ
Which has a greater momentum: a heavy truck at rest or a moving skateboard?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
A greater momentum from the following, (1) a heavy truck at rest and (2) a moving skateboard.
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution: A moving skateboard has more momentum.
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
The momentum of an object is given by:
Here,
Momentum can be defined as the product of mass and velocity of the object.
The truck rest will have zero velocity, therefore the momentum of the truck is also 0.
The moving skateboard has some value of velocity; therefore, the skateboard has momentum greater than 0.
Hence, the momentum of the moving skateboard is greater than the truck at rest.
Conclusion:
Since the truck is at rest, therefore, the skateboard has a greater value of momentum.

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you
A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
