<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>

Maslowich

Answer:59.43\times 10^3 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of car m=660 kg

Initial velocity of car =102 km/h\approx 28.33 m/s towards east

Time taken to stop t=2.1 s

Force exerted F_{avg}=4.8\times 10^3 N

change in momentum is given  by impulse imparted to the car

Impulse(J)=-F\cdot t

J=-4.8\times 10^3\times 2.1

J=-59.49\times 10^3 kg-m/s

negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion

magnitude of momentum J=59.49\times 10^3

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The 5-number summary is

1. Median = 0.93 W/kg

2. Lower quartile = 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile = 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value = 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value = 1.42 W/kg

Explanation:

We are given the measured radiation absorption rates​ (in W/kg) corresponding to 11 cell phones.

1.16 0.85 0.69 0.75 0.95 0.93 1.18 1.17 1.42 0.54 0.57

What is 5-number summary?

A 5-number summary refers to a box plot that basically shows 5 statistical characteristics of a data set.

These statistical characteristics are:    

1. Median

2. Lower quartile

3. Upper quartile  

4. Minimum value  

5. Maximum value  

1. Median:

Arrange the data in ascending order

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

(n+1)/2 gives the median value of the data set.

(11 + 1)/2 = 6th position

Therefore, 0.93 W/kg is the median of the data set.

2. Lower quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the lower quartile of the data set is 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The upper quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the upper quartile of the data set is 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value:

The minimum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the minimum value of the data set is 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value  

The maximum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the maximum value of the data set is 1.42 W/kg

The box plot is illustrated in the attached diagram.

The wavelength of a light wave is 700 nm in air; this light appears red. If this wave enters a pool of water, its wavelength bec
hodyreva [135]

Answer

given,

wavelength of light in air = 700 nm

Wavelength of light in water = 530 nm

We know that speed of light changes when it moves from one medium to another.

And the frequency of the wavelength does not changes if the medium changes.

we also know that,

                                    v = ν λ

From the above equation we can say that if frequency is constant so, with the change in  velocity changes wavelength will also change.

Hence, wavelength is the property of the wave which determines color.

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of
olga2289 [7]
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)
