- 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_forwardparticle of mass m = 5 kg has total energy (rest energy and kinetic energy) of √10mc². What is the momentum of the particle? Give answer in units of kg. m/sarrow_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_forward
- A 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_forwardIn 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_forwardWhich one of the following is true concerning momentum? The momentum of an object is always positive. Momentum and impulse are measured in the same units. The SI unit of momentum is kg • m2/s. Momentum is a scalar quantity. Momentum is a force.arrow_forward
- . An object is moving at 30 m/s and has a momentum of 150 kg*m/s. What is its mass?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_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
- A 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_forwardIt 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.
