1) The momentum of the airplane is $3.84\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$ east

2) The impulse applied to the airplane is 32,000 kg m/s west

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

The airplane in this problem has

m = 3200 kg is its mass

v = 120 m/s east is its velocity

So, its momentum is

$p=(3200)(120)=3.84\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$

And since momentum is a vector, it also has a direction, which is the same as the velocity (east).

The impulse applied to an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

$I=\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

For the airplane in this problem,

m = 3200 kg

u = 120 m/s

v = 110 m/s

So, the impulse is

$I=(3200)(110-120)=-32,000 kg m/s$

And the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is opposite to the airplane motion, so west.

Choose what colors are absorbed when white light hits a red apple. (Pick all that apply.)

astra-53 [7]

A red apple absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light
is the only light left to bounce off of the apple toward our eyes.
(This is a big part of the reason that we call it a "red" apple.)

Here's how the various items on the list make out when they hit the apple:

Red . . . . . reflected
Orange . . absorbed
Yellow . . . absorbed
Green . . . absorbed
Blue . . . . absorbed
Violet . . . absorbed
Black . . . no light; not a color
White . . . has all colors in it

Identify the factors that cause melting and thus the formation of magma. Choose one or more: A. decompression B. compression C.

nordsb [41]

Answer: C Heat Transfer, E Addition of Volatiles and A Decompression

Explanation:

- Decompression melting takes place within Earth when a body of rock is held at approximately the same temperature but the pressure is reduced.

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$
