Matter is anything that...

1 answer:

3 0

The answer of your question is option "B": "Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space". So, by this definition, we know that matter has mass and volume and both of them can be measured.
There are many examples of matter: a pencil, a rock, animals, books, planets, even people are made of matter. So we are sorrounded by it.

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is moving at 4.4 m/s right before it hits the ground. The egg comes to a stop in

algol [13]

Answer: Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground is 9.2N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of egg (m) = 150g = 0.15kg

Height(h) from which egg is dropped = 3m

velocity of egg before hitting the ground (u) = 4.4m/s

Final velocity of egg (V) = 0

Time taken (t) = 0.072s

Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground can be found by applying Newton's 2nd law:

Momentum = mass × velocity

From Newton's second law:

Force = mass × change in Velocity with time ;

That is

F = m * ΔV / t

Inputting our values

F = 0.15 * (4.4 - 0) / 0.072

F = 0.15 × (4.4 / 0.072)

F = 0.15 × 61.11

F = 9.16N

F = 9.2N

A 3.35 kg object initially moving in the positive x direction with a velocity of 4.90 m s collides with and sticks to a 1.88 kg

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The final components of velocity of the composite object is 3.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first object, m₁ = 3.35 kg

initial velocity of the first object, u₁ = 4.90 m/s in positive x-direction

mass of the second object, m₂ = 1.88 kg

initial velocity of the second object, u₂ = 3.12 m/s in negative y-direction

initial momentum of the first object, P₁ = 3.35 x 4.9 = 16.415 kgm/s

initial momentum of the second object, P₂ = 1.88 x 3.12 = 5.8656 kgm/s

The resultant velocity of the two objects is given by;

R² = 16.415² + 5.8656²

R² = 303.858

R = √303.858

R = 17.432 kgm/s

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

total initial momentum before = total final momentum after collision

P₁(x) + P₂(y) = Pf

R = Pf

R = v(m₁ + m₂)

17.432 = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the final components of velocity of the composite object

$v = \frac{17.432}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\v = \frac{17.432}{3.35+1.88} \\\\v = 3.33 \ m/s$

Therefore, the final components of velocity of the composite object is 3.33 m/s.

A convex mirror, like the passenger-side rearview mirror on a car, has a focal length of -3.0 m . An object is 6.0 m from the mi

Artist 52 [7]

A) -2.0 m

Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:

p identifies the location of the object

q identifies the location of the image

F identifies the focus of the mirror

Each tick represents 1 m

We have

p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

f = -3.0 m is the focal length

From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so

q = -2.0 m

This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-3.0 m}-\frac{1}{6.0 m}=-\frac{3}{6.0 cm}\\q = \frac{-6.0 cm}{3}=-2.0 cm$

B) Upright and virtual

As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.

Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,

- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object

- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror

Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.
