A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare

s the objects' changes in momentum?
A. The bug's change in momentum is larger than the car's change in momentum.
B. The bug's change in momentum is smaller than the car's change in momentum.
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
D. The question does not provide enough information. (The question should include whether the collision is elastic or inelastic.)

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

F_{12} = F_{21}

so we know that

\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}

so we have

\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Answer:

v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,

Explanation:

To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.

             v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.

Therefore neither of them is right.

What is the length of the shadow cast on the vertical screen by your 10.0 cm hand if it is held at an angle of θ=30.0∘ above hor
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The  length is  D  =  5 \ cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told  that

     The  length of the  hand is  l  =  10.0 \ cm

      The  angle at the hand is  held is  \theta  =  30 ^o

Generally resolving the length the length of the hand to it vertical component we obtain that the length of the shadow on the vertical wall is mathematically evaluated as

             D  =  l * sin(\theta )

substituting values

             D  =  10 * sin (30)

             D  =  5 \ cm
