<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>

Why is it warmer near the equator and cooler near the poles?
Phantasy [73]
It is because the equator is closer to the sun and because the sun's rays hit the surface of the Earth at a higher angle at the equator. The poles are colder because they don't get direct sunlight. The sun is always low on the horizon.

muminat

Answer:

4°C

Explanation:

Water is densest at 4°C.  Since dense water sinks, the bottom of the lake will be 4°C.

The tip of the second hand of a clock moves in a circle of 20 cm circumference. In one minute the hand makes a complete revoluti
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 0

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

v_{avg} = 0

At an instant a traffic light turns green an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection of the road accelerates with 5m
joja [24]

1) The car overtakes the truck at a distance of 160 m far from the intersection.

2) The velocity of the car is 40 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The car is travelling with a constant acceleration starting from rest, so its position at time t (measured taking the intersection as the origin) is given by

x_c(t) = \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

a=5 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time

On the other hand, the truck is travelling at a constant velocity, therefore its position at time t is given by

x_t(t) = vt

where

v = 20 m/s is the velocity of the truck

t is the time

The car overtakes the truck when the two positions are the  same, so when

x_c(t) = x_t(t)\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = vt\\t=\frac{2v}{a}=\frac{2(20)}{5}=8 s

So, after a time of 8 seconds. Therefore, the distance covered by the car during this time is

x_c(8) = \frac{1}{2}(5)(8)^2=160 m

So, the car overtakes the truck 160 m far from the intersection.

2)

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the velocity of the car at time t is given by the suvat equation

v=u+at

where

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

For the car in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts  from rest)

a=5 m/s^2

And we know that the car overtakes the truck when

t = 8 s

Substituting into the equation,

v=0+(5)(8)=40 m/s
