Yes.  Momentum is a vector, so several non-zero momenta can add up to zero.  Consider for a simple example a mass of 10kg moving to the right at 5m/s, and another mass of 10kg moving to the left at 5m/s.  These momenta each have a magnitude equal to 50 kg m/s but have opposite sign and so the total system's momentum is zero.

What is the freezing point of radiator fluid that is 50% antifreeze by mass? k f for water is 1.86 ∘ c/m?
densk [106]
Ethylene glycol is termed as the primary ingredients in antifreeze.
The ethylene glycol molecular formula is C₂H₆O₂.
Molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is = (2×12) +(6×1) + (216) = 62g/mol
Now that antifreeze by mass is 50%, then there is 1kg of ethylene glycol which is present in 1kg of water.
ΔTf = Kf×m
ΔTf = depression in the freezing point.
= freezing point of water freezing point of the solution
= O°c - Tf
= -Tf
Kf = depression in freezing constant of water = 1.86°C/m
M is the molarity of the solution.
=(mass/molar mass) mass of solvent in kg
=1000g/62 (g/mol) /1kg
=16.13m
If we plug the value we get 
-Tf = 1.86 × 16.13 = 30
Tf = -30°c

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.


If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.


If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.


If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.
