A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]

Physics

This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.

There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.

If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that.  But the question doesn't give us the time. 

It depends on the material of the surface.  Was the clam dropped onto dirt ? 
Into a dumpster ?  Onto grass ?  Concrete ?  Styrofoam ?  Mud ?  The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.

I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher.  It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

F₁ / F₂ = 10

therefore the first out is 10 times greater than the second barrier

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum.

         I = F t = Δp

in this case the final velocity is zero

        F t = 0 -m v₀

        F = m v₀ / t

in order to answer the question we must assume that the two vehicles have the same mass and speed

concrete barrier

        F₁ = -p₀ / 0.1

        F₁ = - 10 p₀

barrier collapses

         F₂ = -p₀ / 1

let's look for the relationship of the forces

        F₁ / F₂ = 10

therefore the first out is 10 times greater than the second barrier

Dimension of density <br>​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

We know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

Ro = m/V

where:

m = mass [kg]

V = volume [m³]

Therefore Ro is given in:

[kg/m^{3} ]

What is one reason for feeling warmer in your house on a summer day versus a winter day even though your thermostat is set the s
anzhelika [568]
The correct option is C.
During the summer period, the weather is hotter compare to the winter period because the sun is closer to the earth. The walls of our houses absorb the more intense heat and radiate part of it into the house, this makes us to feel warmer.
