The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

The force of the bus is the same as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that the forces are the same

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second

vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

$I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta$

Where

$\theta =$ Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

$I_0 =$ Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

$I = \frac{I_0}{2}$

Replacing we have that

$I = \frac{370}{2}$

$I = 185W/m^2$

Re-arrange the equation,

$I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta$

Re-arrange to find \theta

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})$

$\theta = 0.5282rad$

$\theta = 30.27\°$

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

Object's velocity change

marshall27 [118]

the definition of acceleration in kinematics, allows to find that the correct answer is:

2. speed up ( acceleration)

The kinematics study the movement of the body, the acceleration is defined as the change of the speed by the time in the interval

a = Δv / t

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, a is the acceleration, v the velocity and t the time

Analyzing this expression we see that for there to be a change in velocity, there must be an acceleration of the body.

Let's analyze the different claims

1. True. If it is stopped and you start to move there is an acceleration, therefore there is a change in speed, but after you are moving the acceleration becomes zero and there is no change in speed

2. True. Whenever there is acceleration there is a change in speed

3. False. Moving slowly does not change the acceleration, therefore there is no change in speed

4. True. If you are moving and you stop at this moment there is an acceleration, therefore there is a change in speed, but after being stopped the acceleration is zero and there is no change in speed

5. False. If you change the direction at the instant of change there is an acceleration but after you go in the opposite direction there is not acceleration therefore there is no change in speed.

In conclusion using the definition of acceleration in kinematics, we can find the answer the condition for a change in velocity, the correct statement is:

2. speed up ( acceleration)

8. Contrast. The energy that can be released during a nuclear fission reaction with the energy that can be released during a nuc

Cloud [144]

8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission. Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together. It's really the nucleus of a helium atom. It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons. They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light) They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue. They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c². This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared. c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it. Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests) The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms. When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion). High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma. This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse. Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
