A diagram labeled Before Collision shows two train cars moving toward each other. The car on the left is labeled m Subscript 1 B

aseline = 600 kilograms and v Subscript 1 Baseline 4 meters per second. The car on the right is labeled m Subscript 2 Baseline = 400 kilograms and v Subscript 2 Baseline negative 2 meters per second. A second drawing labeled After Collision shows two train cars moving away from each other.

(a) The total momentum of the system before the train cars collide is 1,600 kgm/s.

(b) The total momentum of the system be after the train cars collide is 1,600 kgm/s.

<h3>What is the total momentum of the car system before the collision?</h3>

The total momentum of the car system before the collision is determined by applying the formula for linear momentum.

Pi = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

where;

  • m₁ is the mass of the car on the right
  • m₂ is the mass of the car on the left
  • u₁ is the initial velocity of the right
  • u₂ is the initial velocity of the car on the left

Let the rightward direction = positive

Let the leftward direction = negative

Pi = (600 kg x 4 m/s)  +  (400 kg) x (-2 m/s)

Pi = 2,400 kgm/s  -  800 kgm/s

Pi = 1,600 kgm/s

Based on the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of the initial momentum of an isolated system is <u>equal</u> to the sum of the final momentum of the system

Pf = Pi = 1,600 kgm/s.

When ____________________ equals the force of gravity on a falling object, the object reaches terminal velocity.
Lilit [14]

The correct answer to the question is : Air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the terminal velocity.

An object is said to be moving with terminal velocity if the net force acting on the object is zero i.e the body is non accelerating.

As per the question, the object is falling under gravity. The force of gravity acts in vertical downward direction.

Except gravity, the object is also under air resistance. It is the force which opposes the motion of the object, and acts in vertical upward direction.

If the air resistance becomes equal to force of gravity, then the net force acting on the object is zero . It is so because two forces act in opposite direction.

In case of liquids, the resistance force is called as viscosity.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is air resistance.

10) Um viajante, ao desembarcar no aeroporto de Londres, observou que o valor da temperatura do ambiente na escala Fahrenheit é
joja [24]

Answer:

The observed temperature was 10º Celsius or 50º Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

The traveler observed that the temperature in Fahrenheit is five times the value of the temperature in Celsius, therefore:

F = 5*C

A Fahrenheit temperature relates to a Celsius one by the following expression:

F = \frac{9}{5}*C + 32

Using the second expression on the first, we can solve for the temperature in Celsius, this is done below:

\frac{9}{5}*C + 32 = 5*C\\\frac{9}{5}*C - 5*C = -32\\\frac{9*C - 25*C}{5} = -32\\\frac{-16*C}{5} = -32\\-16*C = -32*5\\-16*C = -160\\C = \frac{-160}{-16} = 10\º\text{C}\\F = 5*C = 5*10 = 50\º\text{F}

The observed temperature was 10º Celsius or 50º Fahrenheit.

8_murik_8 [283]

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year
