Mass in physics is in kg and mass in chemistry is in grams. Therefore a person's mass is kg

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Kilogram

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Mass is the quantity of matter in an object or a body. Mass is measured using units such as milligrams, grams, kilograms, etc. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Choosing an appropriate unit is key so as other units may either give very small or very large number value and thus making it difficult to estimate the magnitude of the quantity if inappropriate units are used.</u></em>
  • The most appropriate units to measure the mass of a person would therefore be kilograms.

1) The gravitational force between Ellen and the moon is 1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N

2) The two forces are equal, while the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Explanation:

1)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

m_1 = 47 kg is the mass of Ellen

m_2 = 7.35\cdot 10^{22} kg is the mass of the moon

r=3.84\cdot 10^8 m is the distance between Ellen and the moon

Substituting, we find the gravitational force between Ellen and the moon:

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(47)(7.35\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.84\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N

2)

We can analyze the forces acting in the collision between the bus and the bicycle by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

Applied to our problem, this means that the force exerted by the bus on the bicycle during the collision (action force) is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by the bicycle on the bus (reaction force).

Now let's analyze the accelerations of the two vehicles. We can find the acceleration of each vehicle by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

a is the acceleration

F is the force exerted on the vehicle

m is the mass of the vehicle

As we said previously, the force F exerted on each of the two vehicles: so, the acceleration only depends on the mass. In particular, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass: therefore, the larger the mass of the vehicle, the smaller the acceleration. This means that the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Solenoid 2 has twice the radius and six times the number of turns per unit length as solenoid 1. The ratio of the magnetic field
Xelga [282]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by the following formula:

B = \mu_{0}nI

where,

B = Magnetic Field Inside Solenoid

μ₀ = permittivity of free space

n = No. of turns per unit length

I = Current Passing through Solenoid

For Solenoid 1:

B_{1} = \mu_{0}n_{1}I  ------------------- equation 1

For Solenoid 2:

n₂ = 6n₁

Therefore,

B_{1} = \mu_{0}n_{2}I\\B_{1} = 6\mu_{0}n_{1}I  ----------------- equation 2

Diving equation 1 and equation 2:

\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} = \frac{6\mu_{0}nI}{\mu_{0}nI}\\\\\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} = 6

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>6</u>

A 1000 kg truck moving at 2.0 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 s for the truck to completely stop. What is the magnit

Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

and is also equal to force times time:

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has
charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum
