Answer: When you squeeze a mattress, and you release it, you can see that return to the original shape. So, when you are squeezing it, the mattress "want" to return to the original shape. The mattress does it by storing elastic energy, and when you stop squeezing it, uses the elastic energy to return to the original shape.

so the energy stored is elastic energy.

A 20,000 kg truck is traveling at 10 m/s. Calculate the truck's momentum. (p = m v)

kow [346]

Answer:

200,000 and 20,000,000

Explanation:

Substituting the values into the equation of momentum, we get that the momentum is p = mv = 20,000*10 = 200,000. Using the equation provided to solve for the force the truck experienced, we find: 20,000*10/0.01 = 20,000,000.

I hope this helps!

State how a ray of light can travel from air into glass without bending?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

If you shine a beam of light (a bundle of parallel rays) through the air, it will travel in a straight line. Rays of light usually travel in straight lines until they hit something. If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass.

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems

PIT_PIT [208]

I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.
