The speed of water moving through a turbine is 2.5 m/s. Show that the mass of water passing through an area of 500 metres squared in one second is about 1 x 10^6 kg (density of sea water = 1030 kg/m^3)

This is a past exam question from an A level paper for OCR Physics B.We know that in one second, a volume of water (V), travelling at 2.5 m/s is passing through an area of 500 metres squared in one second...

A positively charged particle enters a magnetic field oriented perpendicular to its direction of motion. Does the particle: A) Change its velocity, B) Change its speed, C) Accelerate in the direction of the magnetic field.

To answer this question you must use the magnetic field "Right Hand Rule". We know that if a charged particle enters a magnetic field it will experience a force ​perpendicular to both​ ...

What does a negative velocity mean?

To understand this question, it is important to know that velocity has both a direction and a magnitude. The magnitude can be expressed by the unit m/s, however the direction is expressed by a vector. ...

A particle that moves uniformly in a circular path is accelerating yet moving at a constant speed. Explain this statement.

Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Velocity is different to speed, because it has a direction (for example a car moving at 10 mph along a road heading north will have a greater ve...

A model truck A of mass 1.2 kg is travelling due west with a speed of 0.90 m/s . A second truck B of mass 4.0 kg is travelling due east towards A with a speed of 0.35 m/s .

a)  Calculate the magnitude of the total momentum of the trucks. 

The momentum (p) is the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its velocity (v). 

p = m x v
