I'm almost positive it is Option B but I cannot confirm. Maybe another answer can!

I would say Option B) because Option C) is wrong since matter cannot be created. A closed system does not exchange matter so it's not Option D). Since an island is an isolated area, Option A) is wrong.

Two cars collide inelastically and stick together after the collision. Before the collision, the magnitudes of their momenta are

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is

p = p₁ + p₂

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that force = the change of momentum produced therefore since the collision is inelstic then the change of momentum of each car is p₁ and p₂ and the force of the collition is proportional to p₁ + p₂ that is

F ∝ p₁ + p₂ and since force is directly proportional to p we have

p = p₁ + p₂

Explain why ionizing radiation is dangerous?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

When the dose is high enough, ionizing radiation causes two types of harm to humans: direct tissue damage and cancer. Direct tissue damage happens when enough molecules are broken apart that the cells simply can no longer function. This can lead to radiation burns, radiation sickness, organ failure, and even death.

Most of an atom is empty space.<br> a. True<br> b. False

Iteru [2.4K]

<span>Yes, the vast majority of an atom is indeed empty space. Most of it's mass is centered in the nucleus. Flying around the nucleus are the electrons, but they're very very far away (on an atomic level anyway). Most of the atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.</span>

Answer:

Part 1

Stationary

Part 2

20 Newtons

Part 3

Force

Part 4

4.0 m/s²

Part 5

Normal

Part 6

Cart m

Part 7

The gravitational force is less than magnetic force

Explanation:

Part 1

The position time graph of the object is an horizontal straight line passing across the top of the position 3 boxes vertically up from the origin

As the time increases by the units of number boxes to the left, the position of the object does not change and remains at the 3 boxes up above the origin, therefore, the object is stationary

Part 2

By Newton's third law of motion, the action action obtained from a force is equal to the reaction given to the force, therefore, we have;

The force exerted by the student on the scale = The force exerted by the scale on the student = 20 N

Part 3

A force is a the directional push on an object or pull from the object as a form of interaction with another object which tends to alter or maintain the motion of the object

Part 4

The given parameters are'

The mass of block A = 1.0 kg

The mass of block B = 2.0 kg

Both blocks, "A" and "B" are initially at rest

The applied horizontal force, F = 12-N

The nature of the surface over which the blocks move = Smooth surface

Force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a

F = m × a

The blocks two blocks experience a common acceleration, a

The combined mass of the two blocks, m = 1.0 kg + 2.0 kg = 3.0 kg

m = 3.0 kg

Therefore, a = F/m = 12-N/(3.0 kg) = 4 m/s²

Part 5

A normal force is a force acting perpendicularly to a surface that supports the weight of an object

Part 6

The given parameters are;

M = 2 kg

The mass of the left cart attached to the spring = M = 2 kg

The mass of the right cart attached to the spring = 2·M = 2 × 2 kg = 4 kg

Therefore, given that the force exerted by one cart on the other after the spring is removed, we have;

Force, F = M × a₁ = 2·M × a₂

Where;

a₁ = The average acceleration of the cart with mass, M

a₂ = The average acceleration of the cart with mass, 2·M

M × a₁ = 2·M × a₂

∴ a₁ = 2·a₂

The acceleration, a₁, of car M = 2 × The acceleration, a₂, of car 2·M

The acceleration of cart M is two times the acceleration of cart 2·M

Cart M will experience a greater average acceleration

Part 7

For the top magnet of two magnets placed two magnets arranged so that one is on top the other, to be held in the air with a space between the two magnets, the gravitational force pulling the top magnet down, is less than the repelling magnetic force between the two magnets.
