Which statement best describes the situation? Which statement best describes the situation? The car has the greater change of mo

mentum because it has the greater speed. The truck has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater mass. Neither the car nor the truck changes its momentum in the collision because momentum is conserved. They both have the same change in magnitude of momentum because momentum is conserved. None of the above is necessarily true.

Complete Question

A truck going 15 km/h has a head-on collision with a small car going 30 km/h. Which statement best describes the situation?

A. the truck has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater mass

B. the car has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater speed

C. neither the car nor the truck changes its momentum in the collision because momentum is conserved

D. they both have the same change in magnitude of momentum because momentum is conserved

E. none of the above is necessarily true

Answer:

D. They both have the same change in magnitude of momentum because     momentum is conserved

Explanation:

In order to get a good understanding of the solution above we define some

concetps

   Momentum

This is defines quantified motion and can be mathematically represented as  

      Momentum =  Mass of the body × Velocity of the body

According to the Law of conservation of momentum states that when two particles collide together in a system that is being isolated that their total momentum before and after their collision is equal this means that the momentum lost by the truck would be the same as the momentum gained by the small car

Iodine molecules separates into atoms after absorbing light of 450 nm. If one
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:E = hc/? = 4.41 x 10-19 J

Energy absorbed by each atom :

E (atom) = 2.205 x 10-19 J

Now Bond Energy of each molecule (B) = 3.98 x J

So, for each atom 1.99 x 10-19 J

So now

KE of each atom = E(atom) - B (atom)

= 2.15 x 10-19 J

Which of the following is NOT true? a. The higher the moment of inertia, the greater the resistance to changes in angular veloci
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is the integral of the product of the squared distance by the mass differential. Is the mass equivalent in the rotational motion

a) True. When the moment of inertia is increased, more force is needed to reach acceleration, so it is more difficult to change the angular velocity that depends proportionally on the acceleration

b) True. The moment of inertia is part of the kinetic energy, which is composed of a linear and an angular part. Therefore, when applying the energy conservation theorem, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the rotational part increases with the moment of inertia, so there is less energy left for the linear part and consequently it falls slower

c) True. The moment of inertial proportional to the angular acceleration, when the acceleration decreases as well. Therefore, a smaller force can achieve the value of acceleration and the change in angular velocity. Consequently, less force is needed is easier

when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant
solong [7]

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}

or

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².

A low C (f=65Hz) is sounded on a piano. If the length of the piano wire is 2.0 m and
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

T = 676 N

Explanation:

Given that: f = 65 Hz, L = 2.0 m, and ρ = 5.0 g/m^{2} = 0.005 kg

A stationary wave that is set up in the string has a frequency of;

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{M} }

⇒      T = 4L^{2}f^{2}M

Where: t is the tension in the wire, L is the length of the wire, f is the frequency of the waves produced by the wire and M is the mass per unit length of the wire.

But M = L × ρ = (2 × 0.005) = 0.01 kg/m

T = 4 × 2^{2} ×65^{2} × 0.01

   = 4 × 4 ×4225 × 0.01

   = 676 N

Tension of the wire is 676 N.
