- What 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_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_forwardAn object with a mass of 27 kg moves from (8, −12, −4) m to (3, −15, 6) m from t = 0 to t = 6.2 seconds. (a) What is the object’s average velocity over this time period? (b) What is the object’s average momentum over this time period? (c) If the object has the same average velocity from t = 6.2 seconds to t = 19.2 seconds, what will its final vector position be at t = 19.2 seconds?arrow_forward

- A child on a bicycle has a linear momentum of magnitude P = 1239 kg⋅m/s. The child and the bicycle together have a combined mass of m = 135 kg. a)Write an expression for the child's speed, v, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. b)What is the speed, v, in meters per second? c) How much kinetic energy do the bike and rider together have, in joules?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true about momentum? Momentum is a vector quantity. The standard unit on momentum is the Joule. An object with mass will have momentum. An object which is moving at a constant speed has momentum. An object can be traveling eastward and slowing down; its momentum is westward. Momentum is a conserved quantity; the momentum of an object is never changed. The momentum of an object varies directly with the speed of the object. Two objects of different mass are moving at the same speed; the more massive object will have the greatest momentum. A less massive object can never have more momentum than a more massive object. Two identical objects are moving in opposite directions at the same speed. The forward moving object will have the greatest momentum. An object with a changing speed will have a changing momentum.arrow_forwardA) {Q}sı is the unit of Q in the Sl- system. {Q}French is the unit of Q in the cm-g-s-system.

- The equation a = Fnet / m is valid in any dimension. That is, a = Fnet / m implies ax = Fnet x / m and ay = Fnet y / m. Similarly, the law of conservation of momentum is valid in any dimension. pA0 + pB0 = pA + pB implies pA0x + pB0x = pAx + pBx and pA0y + pB0y = pAy + pBy.Standard cue balls have masses of 170 grams, while numbered billiard balls have masses of only 160 grams. A cue ball traveling at 9.65 meters per second and 0.0 degrees strikes the nine ball at rest. After the collision, the cue ball travels at 3.95 meters per second and 60.7 degrees. What is the velocity of the nine ball after the collision? Include units in your answers.arrow_forwardAn atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass mA travels to the left with a speed of vA. Piece B with mass mB travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mB and VA. Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: pBf + pAf = 0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mBv_____ + _____mAv_____ = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to v_____=(mA/m_____)vAarrow_forwardAn atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces.
