The kinetic energies of a light and a heavy body are equivalent. The momentum is greater for the light body.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is characterized as the intensity of a body's motion. As momentum depends on both velocity and the direction of the body's motion, it is quantified by "mass velocity". Since velocity is a vector and mass is a scalar, momentum is a vector quantity.

As a result of its higher mass, a heavy object will move with more momentum. Only when the average speed of the heavy particles is lower than that of the light particles will the average kinetic energy of the light particles equal the average kinetic energy of the heavy particles.

At the same temperature and pressure, lighter gases will move more quickly than heavier ones. 0K on the Kelvin scale denotes that the particles are not moving.

How does an atom of rubidium-85 become a rubidium ion with a +1 charge?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

C. The atom loses 1 electron to have a total of 36.

Explanation:

Cations have a positive charge. Cations lose electrons.

The number of electrons in a Rubidium atom is 37. If the atom loses 1 electron, then it has 36 left.

Before the fission process takes place, lead-207 is bombarded with neutrons, it can change into

Oduvanchick [21]

Lead-207 can change into Lead-208.

When Lead-207 is bombarded with neutrons, the atom acquires the neutron. Adding a neutron only changes the mass number of the atom. This does not involve change in the identity of the atom. So, Lead-207 can change into Lead-208 without change in its chemical properties.

How is Venus similar to Earth?

hoa [83]

Answer: D

Explanation: I have my answers VS. Go0gle answers (go0gle answers are pics)

(A) Both have the same day length. Well, Venus doesn't havve the same amount of days. (I already know off the top of my head, but I still searched it up)

(B) Both rotate in the same direction. In school (before Virus) they would always show diagrams of the planets on the projector and Venus doesn't rotate

(C) Both have ample water. No. Venus doesn't have much water >_>

(D) Both have a solid inner core and a liquid outer core. Yesh. In my lessons (before), Venus has a solid inner core and liquid outer core.

Teams red and blue are having a tug-of-war. According to Newton's third law, the force with which the red team pulls on the blue

Zielflug [23.3K]

There are a few reasons that one teams could win. It depends if the on of the teams has a better grip on the rope or not or maybe one off the teams has more friction between the ground and there shoes. So really it no matter what one of the teams will win.
