Ok so 1000(5.556 m/s – 0 m/s)/0.055 = 101018 Newton’s which is a unit of force. We know the force was applied for 1 foot of travel (.3048meters)
Homework Equations
So the incorrect conversion would be to multiply by .3048 to get 30790 Newton meters per second. I am missing the time component
The Attempt at a Solution
Do I need to divide 1 by 0.055seconds and than multiply that number by 30790? Any help would be appreciated I am baffled. Thanks
Ya I definitely stepped in it. Sorry. 1000 is the weight in kilograms, and 0.055 is the time in secondsSteamKing said:It's not clear what you are talking about here. Some of the units have been omitted, which muddies the water further. 1000 what? 0.055 what? You've jumped into the middle of something here; we just don't know what.
Mass * velocity = momentumpaulhook said:Ya I definitely stepped in it. Sorry. 1000 is the weight in kilograms, and 0.055 is the time in seconds
Ok I think that helps, ThanksSteamKing said:Mass * velocity = momentum
momentum / time = ?
The conversion factor for Newtons to Newton meters per second is 1 N = 1 Nm/s.
Newtons (N) are a unit of force, while Newton meters per second (Nm/s) are a unit of power. Nm/s is a measure of how much work is done per unit time.
To convert from Newtons to Newton meters per second, you can use the formula Nm/s = N x m/s. This means multiplying the number of Newtons by the velocity in meters per second.
Newton meters per second are commonly used in physics and engineering to measure power, such as the power output of a machine or the power needed to do work. They are also used in sports science to measure the power output of athletes.
Yes, there is a difference. Newton meters per second (Nm/s) is a unit of power, while Newton meters squared per second (Nm2/s) is a unit of pressure. Nm/s is a measure of how much work is done per unit time, while Nm2/s is a measure of pressure over an area.
