It would be a really bad idea to eat the snow because you obviously are trying to stay warm right? Well, the best thing to do is melt the snow. However, the process of melting the snow would have a few complications as well. But yes, the latter idea (drinking the snow) is a better idea (not the best).

A bulldozer and a Mini Cooper are involved in a head-on collision. Which one experiences a greater force

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The mini Cooper will experience the greater force

Explanation:

Generally, a bulldozer has a greater mass compared to a Mini Cooper hence when both of these vehicles interact in an head on collision the Mini Cooper will experience a greater force because the bulldozer has a greater momentum

Two astronauts, each with a mass of 50 kg, are connected by a 7 m massless rope. Initially they are rotating around their center

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w_f = 1.531 \ rad/ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of each astronauts is $m = 50 \ kg$

The initial distance between the two astronauts $d_i = 7 \ m$

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as $r_i = \frac{d_i}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \ m$

The initial angular velocity is $w_1 = 0.5 \ rad /s$

The distance between the two astronauts after the rope is pulled is $d_f = 4 \ m$

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as $r_f = \frac{d_f}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2\ m$

Generally from the law of angular momentum conservation we have that

$I_{k_1} w_{k_1}+ I_{p_1} w_{p_1} = I_{k_2} w_{k_2}+ I_{p_2} w_{p_2}$

Here $I_{k_1 }$ is the initial moment of inertia of the first astronauts which is equal to $I_{p_1}$ the initial moment of inertia of the second astronauts So

$I_{k_1} = I_{p_1 } = m * r_i^2$

Also $w_{k_1 }$ is the initial angular velocity of the first astronauts which is equal to $w_{p_1}$ the initial angular velocity of the second astronauts So

$w_{k_1} =w_{p_1 } = w_1$

Here $I_{k_2 }$ is the final moment of inertia of the first astronauts which is equal to $I_{p_2}$ the final moment of inertia of the second astronauts So

$I_{k_2} = I_{p_2} = m * r_f^2$

Also $w_{k_2 }$ is the final angular velocity of the first astronauts which is equal to $w_{p_2}$ the final angular velocity of the second astronauts So

$w_{k_2} =w_{p_2 } = w_2$

So

$mr_i^2 w_1 + mr_i^2 w_1 = mr_f^2 w_2 + mr_f^2 w_2$

=> $2 mr_i^2 w_1 = 2 mr_f^2 w_2$

=> $w_f = \frac{2 * m * r_i^2 w_1}{2 * m * r_f^2 }$

=> $w_f = \frac{3.5^2 * 0.5}{ 2^2 }$

=> $w_f = 1.531 \ rad/ s$

Describe the full water cycle

sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.
