An unlit match is held near (not touching) a Bunsen flame. The match doesn't get hot enough to light because

The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of

$p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s$

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

$p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s$

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved

A rocket blasts off from the Earth's surface. During the initial phase of flight, the engine of the rocket burns fuel at a rate

Katen [24]

Answer:

αβ = Ma

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd Law, the equation governing the motion of the rocket while the rocket is burning fuel is

αβ = Ma where α = rocket's fuel burning rate, β = relative to the velocity of the rocket, M = instantaneous mass of the rocket and a = acceleration of rocket.
