Answer: 2. Weight can be measured in pounds.

Explanation: 1. False. Mass can be measured in kilograms not Newton’s. Newton’s is a measurement of force not mass.

3. False. A bowling ball is more massive, therefore when multiplied by acceleration of gravity it weighs more.

4. False. In different gravitational fields such as the moon versus the earth, objects will have different weights.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

$F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and divide it by the time interval , as follows:

$F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N$

⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)

A toy car having mass m = 1.10 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.55 kg. Before the collision, the toy tra

Answer:

$V_{ft}= 317 cm/s$

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

Where:

$P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}$

$P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Now:

$M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Where $M_c$ is the mass of the car, $V_{ic}$ is the initial velocity of the car, $M_t$ is the mass of train, $V_{fc}$ is the final velocity of the car and $V_{ft}$ is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

$(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}$

Solving for $V_{ft}$ :

$V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s$

Changed to cm/s, we get:

$V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s$

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

K = $\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2$

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2$

$K_i = 22.06 J$

And the final K is:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = 19.61 J$

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J

What should you avoid doing to ensure your<br> farming practises were sustainable?

saw5 [17]

Sustainable crops are grown in a different manner from industrial crops. Sustainable crop farmers focus on ensuring that their farming practices can be sustained over time and do not cause undue damage to the environment.

•Minimal to No Pesticide Use
•Limit Environmental Damage
•Focus on Soil Health
•Sustainable Seed and Plant Varieties
