A golf ball and bowling ball are rolling at the same speed. Which has the greater momentum?

2 answers:

7 0

If a golf ball and a bowling ball are rolling at the same speed, use MSM as an analogy: More mass, more Speed, more Momentum. The golf ball is smaller, and may be going the same speed as the bowling ball but the bowling ball has a much greater mass than the golf ball. The bowling ball has the greater momentum. The bigger the object, the faster it goes, the more momentum it has.

The bowling ball has more momentum because it is bigger and has more weight to it than the golfball.

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature

Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

In the simulation above, as the projectile travels upward, how does the vertical velocity change? Question 9 options:

enot [183]

Answer:

Vertical velocity decreases.

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile ball, which consists of two independent motions:

- a horizontal motion, with constant velocity

- a vertical motion, with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground

In the vertical motion, there is a constant acceleration directed downward: this means that the vertical velocity decreases as the ball goes higher. In fact, it decreases following the equation

$v(t)=v_0 -gt$

And it decreases until the ball reaches its maximum height, then it starts increasing again.

As you approach your vehicle and perform checks it is not necessary to always

Greeley [361]

1.) Have your keys in hand before approaching or entering your car.

2. Be alert to other pedestrians and drivers.

3.) Search for signs of movement between, beneath and around objects to both sides of your vehicle

4.) check the spare tire for proper inflation

A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

$magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km$

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km

An uncrewed mission to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is launched from the Earth's surface as a projectile with an initial

Anna [14]

Answer:

42.96 km/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of Energy

$(PE+KE)_i=(PE+KE)_f\\\Rightarrow -\frac{GmM}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2=0+\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

Mass gets cancelled

$-\frac{GM}{R}+\frac{1}{2}v_i^2=0+\frac{1}{2}v_f^2\\\Rightarrow -2\frac{GM}{R}+v_i^2=v_f^2\\\Rightarrow -v_e^2+v_i^2=v_f^2\\\Rightarrow v_f=\sqrt{v_i^2-v_e^2}$

$v_e=\sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{R}}$ = Escape velocity of Earth = 11.2 km/s

$v_i$ = Velocity of projectile = 44.4 km/s

$v_f=\sqrt{44.4^2-11.2^2}\\\Rightarrow v_f=42.96\ km/s$

The velocity of the spacecraft when it is more than halfway to the star is 42.96 km/s
