Formula for momentum is mass times velocity so you do 52 kg times 5 m/s and that equals 260 kg x m/s

At 0°C, frozen water (ice) changes to liquid water. When an ice cube is placed on something that is warmer than it heat will mov

kondaur [170]

Answer:

a common temperature is reached.

Explanation:

The principle of heat transfer is that heat flows from a substance of higher temperature to that of lower temperature until when a common temperature is reached.

For ice on getting in contact with a hot body; it changes to water at 0°c utilising the latent heat of fusion. After ice has been converted to water at 0°c, water starts increasing in temperature till a common temperature is reached.

A 970-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked,

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

22.73 m/s or 81.72 kph

Explanation

We can find the combined mass of both cars as

970 kg + 2300 kg = 3270 kg.

Then the normal force of the cars can be calculated as

F(n)= mg

Where g is acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2

3270 kg ×9.8 = 32046 kg*m/s^2.

coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80 × F(n)

Then the frictional force can be calculated as

= (32046kg*m/s^2 × 0.80 )

= 25636.8 kg*m/s^2

We can now calculate the work done that was used stopping the cars as

Frictional force × distance

(25636.8 kg*m/s^2 ) × 2.9m= 74346.72kg*m^2/s^2

From kinetic energy formula, the combined velocity of the car can be determined

E=0.5 M V²

√(2E/M) = V

√(2*74346.72kg*m^2/s^2 / 3270 kg) = V

V= √ (45.472)

V=6.743293m/s

the momentum of both cars can be determined as

6.743293m/s * 3270 kg

= 22050.57kg*m/s

Now the final momentum of both cars must be equal to the the momentum of

the sports car just prior to the collision. Therefore, the speed of the sports car at impact.

=(22050.57 kg*m/s) / 970 kg = 22.73 m/s

We can convert that to km/h.

22.73 m/s * 3600 s/h / 1000 m/km = 81.72 kph

Which of the following best describes a property of water?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

C. weak cohesive forces exist between its molecules.

Explanation:

This is because water has less intermolecular forces than solids, but more than gases. Also their cohesive forces is low.

Why doesn't every planet have a moon?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.
