Answer:

A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the amount energy possessed by the body when in motion. Kinetic is given by the formula;

K.E = 1/2mv²,

where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body.

Kinetic energy therefore depends on the mass and the velocity of the body. In this case, the passenger bus has more kinetic energy at constant speed than the car since it has a larger mass.

Football player A has a mass of 210 pounds and is running at a rate of 5.0 mi/hr. He collides with player B. Player B has a mass
Naddika [18.5K]

The equation for momentum is p = mv where p is the omentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. Calculating the momentum for each football player, player A will have a momentum of 1050 lb-mi/h and player B will have a momentum of 570 lb-mi/h. Therefore, momentum of player A is greater than that of player B.

What is the magnitude of the resultant of a 7.0-N force acting vertically upward and a 5.0-N force acting horizontally.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Resultant force = 8.6N

Explanation:

Using Pythogorus' theorem

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c }^{2}  \\  {7}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  =  {r}^{2} \\ 49 + 25 =  {r}^{2}  \\ 74 =  {r}^{2}  \\   \sqrt{74}  =   \sqrt{ {r }^{2} }  \\ 8.6 = r \\

Resultant force = 8.6N

List an example of each of the four classes polymers that living things make and use
slamgirl [31]


The four classes of polymers are:

1. Nucleic acids.  Examples are DNA and RNA

2. Protein. Examples are enzymes and hemoglobin

3. Carbohydrates. Examples as starch and glycogen

4. Lipids. Examples are triglycerides and phospholipids

The building blocks of nucleic acids are called bases and there are four types known as Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The building blocks of carbohydrates are glucose molecules.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

The building blocks of lipids are a combination of fatty acids and glycerol.
