Newton’s Laws of Motion: Understanding Inertia and Force
Numerical – 3 (C)
1. Linear Momentum Calculation
Problem: A body of mass 5 kg is moving with a velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate its linear momentum.
Answer:
Mass of the body (m) = 5 kg
Velocity (v) = 2 m/s
Linear momentum = mv = (5)(2) kgm/s
= 10 kgm/s
2. Velocity Calculation from Linear Momentum
Problem: The linear momentum of a ball of mass 50 g is 0.5 kg m/s. Find its velocity.
Answer:
Linear momentum = 0.5 kgm/s
Mass (m) = 50 g = 0.05 kg
Velocity = Linear momentum / mass = 0.5 / 0.05 m/s = 10 m/s

Geocentric and Heliocentric Models
The geocentric model proposed that Earth was the center of the universe. The most famous version of this model was developed by Ptolemy. However, this model was eventually replaced by the heliocentric theory, which states that Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.
The Universe and Its Components
What is the Universe? The universe encompasses everything that exists, including:
- Planets
- Stars
- Galaxies
- Galaxy clusters
- Stellar gas and dust
- Celestial bodies like comets,
Pioneers of Astronomy: From Al-Khwarizmi to Galileo
Pioneers of Astronomy
Early Advancements
Al-Khwarizmi, whose name gives us the terms “algebra” and “algorithm,” made significant mathematical contributions that laid the groundwork for astronomical calculations. Al-Battani observed that the aphelion, the point in Earth’s orbit farthest from the Sun, changes over time. At Bumas marked the first known attempt to determine the Earth’s axis orientation. At Khujandi developed the sextant, an instrument descended from the astrolabe, for measuring celestial

Harmonic Vibration
We call harmonic vibration vibration limited to any movement around a position that is repeated several times. When it reaches all positions are repeated in the mobile regular intervals, we say that the motion is periodic. In this case the temporal function of position, x(t), holds that x(t) = x(t + T) where T is the repeat interval and is called the period.
In nature can be observed oscillatory movements related to any freak. Therefore, the study of the motions that fulfill this

Question 1: Rep in Bed
1) With respect to the rep in bed:
- It is necessary to apply heat before shooting for the repair.
- The classification of the banking system is made according to the draft.
- Each bank has different principles, but also verify that all control points.
- All are false.
Question 2: SITEMA Rack
2) Indicate the correct statement:
- The SITEMA rack can be lifted off the ground fixed, mobile, or elevator.
- The rack system could be anchored
Understanding Thrust, Pressure, Buoyancy, and Density
Thrust and Pressure
Thrust
Thrust is the force acting on a body perpendicular to its surface. The S.I. unit of thrust is Newton (N). For example, when fixing a poster on a bulletin board, you apply thrust by pressing drawing pins with your thumb.
Pressure
Pressure is the thrust per unit area. It is calculated as: Pressure = Thrust / Area. The S.I. unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to Newton per square meter (N/m2). A larger unit, kilopascal (kPa), is often used.
Pressure depends on
