When dealing with the conservation of momentum, does direction matter?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Momentum is conserved in all three physical directions at the same time.

Explanation:

There is a peculiarity, however, in that momentum is a vector, involving both the direction and the magnitude of motion, so that the momenta of objects going in opposite directions can cancel to yield an overall sum of zero.

Answer:

Sound energy wave is transferred through a substance as a series of compressions.

Explanation:

Sound is caused by regular oscillating that produce regions of compression (high pressure) and rarefaction (low pressure) that move through a substance. Sound not only travels through air, it can travel through any substance, solid, liquid or gas. Whales can hear other whales across whole oceans through water, an Earthquake is low frequency sound moving through the solid Earth

A vibrating object compresses the air and sound waves move from the source, much like waves in water if you drop a stone into it. These sound waves can carry great distances depending on their loudness and frequency.

A scale reads 184 N when a piece of copper is hanging from it. What does it read (in N) when it is lowered so that the copper is
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

  163 N

Explanation:

The density of copper is about 8.96. The ratio of the weight in water to the weight in air is about 1-1/ρ, so is about 0.8884.

  0.8884 × 184 N ≈ 163 N

The submerged weight is about 163 N.
