. A 1.00 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The ball travels up to a maximum height, then returns to the ground. Calculate the rock's momentum as it strikes the
ground.

p = -8 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 8 m/s

Mass of the rock, m = 1 kg

The ball travels up  to a maximum height, then returns to the ground.

We need to find the rock's momentum as it strikes the  ground. Let v be the final speed of the rock. Its final speed is as same as initial speed i.e. 8 m/s but in negative direction. So

p = mv

p = 1 kg × (-8 m/s)

= -8 kg-m/s

So, the rock's momentum as it strikes the  ground is (-8 kg-m/s).

if the thermos has a vacuum innner, then heat through conv currents and conduction are reduced = vacuum flask

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
