Calculate the mass in kilograms of a 4.86 kg object when its velocity, relative to us, is each of the following values. (Notice the progression of these numbers toward the velocity of light, 3.00 × 108 m s-1.)
1.velocity = 3.11 × 107 m s-1 m=__kg?
2.velocity = 2.65 × 108 m s-1 m=__kg?
3. velocity = 2.95 × 108 m s-1 m=__kg?
Using the alternate form of Newton's second law, compute the force (in N) needed to accelerate a 1,070 kg car from 0 to 16 m/s in 11 s. The change in momentum is the car's momentum when traveling 16 m/s minus its momentum when going 0 m/s. (Enter the magnitude.)
Is the answer 550 kg because 55*10= 550And also it is in Newton's so it will be in kilograms so the answer is 550kg if the answer isn't 550kg then what is the answer and how can I get that answer and also explain it to me step by step.
