An object of mass 20 kg is moving with a velocity 200 m s-1. If a force is applied so that the momentum is decreased by 100 kg m s-1, determine the new velocity of the object.
Question
An object of mass 20 kg is moving with a velocity 200 m s-1. If a force is applied so that the momentum is decreased by 100 kg m s-1, determine the new velocity of the object.
Solution
Primero, recordemos que el momento (o cantidad de movimiento) de un objeto se calcula como el producto de su masa y su velocidad. La fórmula es:
donde:
- es el momento,
- es la masa,
- es la velocidad.
Dado que la masa del objeto es 20 kg y su velocidad inicial es 200 m/s, podemos calcular su momento inicial:
Se nos dice que el momento disminuye en 100 kg·m/s. Por lo tanto, el nuevo momento será:
Ahora, para encontrar la nueva velocidad, utilizamos la fórmula del momento, despejando la velocidad:
Sustituimos los valores conocidos:
Por lo tanto, la nueva velocidad del objeto es 195 m/s.
