Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

$m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg$

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

$m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V$ (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

$m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}$

$m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg$

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented by

zloy xaker [14]

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented as, L=m₁v₁r₁-m₂v₂r₂.

<h3>What is angular momentum.?</h3>

The rotational analog of linear momentum is angular momentum also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum.

It is significant in physics because it is a conserved quantity. the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant. Both the direction and magnitude of angular momentum are conserved.

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented as;

L=∑mvr

L=m₁v₁r₁-m₂v₂r₂

Hence, the magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented as, L=m₁v₁r₁-m₂v₂r₂.

Consider an ideal gas at 27.0 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atmosphere pressure. Imagine the molecules to be uniformly spaced, with e

My name is Ann [436]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts about the ideal gas equation and the volume in the cube.

However, for this case the Boyle equation will not be used, but the one that corresponds to the Boltzmann equation for ideal gas, in this way it is understood that

$PV =NkT$

Where,

N = Number of molecules

k = Boltzmann constant

V = Volume

T = Temperature

P = Pressure

Our values are given as,

$N = 1$

$k = 1.38*10^{-23}J/K$

$T = 27\°C = 27\°C + 273 = 300K$

$P = 1atm = 101325Pa$

Rearrange the equation to find V we have,

$V = \frac{NkT}{P}$

$V = \frac{1(1.38*10^{-23})(300K)}{101325Pa}$

$V = 4.0858*10^{-26}m^3$

We know that length of a cube is given by

$V = L^3$

Therefore the Length would be given as,

$L = V^{1/3}$

$L = (4.0858*10^{-26})^{1/3}$

$L = 3.445*10^{-9}m$

Therefore each length of the cube is 3.44nm

Test Due! Which statement is true?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The correct answer is C. Mercury and Mars have the same gravitational force

Explanation:

This chart compares the different features of two planets in our solar system (Mercury and Mars). In this chart, the only numerical value or feature that is the same for both planets is gravity because for both planets gravity is 1.7 m/s2. This implies the gravitational force or the force that attracts objects towards the center of the planet is the same or that objects are pulled with the same force in both planets. Moreover, this factor depends on others such as mass, density, among others.
