(a) James has the most momentum which is 294 kgm/s.

(b) The resultant force acting on Basma is 90.78 N.

<h3>Momentum of each person</h3>

Momentum of James: P = mv = 98 x 3 = 294 kgm/s

Momentum of Basma: P = mv = 59 x 4 = 236 kgm/s

<h3>Resultant force of Basma</h3>

F = ma = mv/t = P/t = 236/2.6 = 90.78 N

<h3>Time for James to stop</h3>

F = P/t

t = P/F

t = 294/90.78

t = 3.2 s

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Explanation:

refractive index = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

light travels at a speed of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s in vacuum

refractive index = 3.0 x 10^8 / 2.0 x 10^8

refractive index = 1.5

hope this helps, please mark it

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient

saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

$p = p_0 + \rho g h$

where $p, p_0$ are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
