10. A safe place to use the trebuchet would be away from other buildings and people. A good example of a place would be a large field with no nearby structures.
14. Many factors need to be kept consistent throughout the experiment. One example of a variable that would need to be consistent is the weight and size of the projectile.
15. It is important to do many trials so that you can make sure that the results of each trial are nearly the same. If they are all vastly different, then it means that something has gone wrong.

Sorry I was only able to answer a few questions, but I hope these few answers help! :)

Answer the questions.

Studentka2010 [4]

a) The wind is generated because there are different values of pressure in the amtophera. That is, it is generated due to a pressure difference between two atmospheric points. Generally the movement is performed when the air travels from the highest pressure point, to the lowest pressure point. This is also a direct cause of different types of wind speeds.

b) If the cloud moves from one direction to another, it will indicate that from the starting point the pressure is higher, and the point towards which it is directed, the pressure is lower. If we place this on a Cartesian plane with reference to the cardinal points, we can know the approximate place or area where the pressures are different.

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $10^5$ kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $10^5$

So, $V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000}$ = $\frac{100}{3}$ m/s

and $V_y=\frac{160}{3}$ m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $\sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2}$

= $\sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2}$

= 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $\frac{V_y}{V_x}$ = 1.6

therefore, $\theta = \tan^{-1}1.6$

= $58 ^{\circ}$ from x-axis

Windows having double glass panes with some space between them is called double glazing. Why do windows in cold countries have d

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: for insulation of heat

Explanation:

Windows in cold countries have double glazing windows to provide a barrier against the outside temperature by creating a buffer zone between two glasses.

The air or any other gas-filled between the glasses act as an insulator and offer great resistance to outside temperature thereby maintaining the inside temperature intact.
