Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

An arrow movirg 48.3 m/s has 5.22<br> kg•m/s of momentum. What is its<br> mass?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

0.11 kg

Explanation:

Ft = MV

Ft = momentum 5.22kg m/s

M = mass

V = velocity 48.3m/s

Therefore

5.22 = M x 48.3

Divide both sides by 48.3

5.22/48.3 = M x 48.3/48.3

0.11 = M

M = 0.11kg

Where is the most and the least KENETIC ENERGY
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Where is kinetic energy the least?, and most?

Explanation:

Least : When the Moon is farthest from Earth in its nearly elliptical orbit, its speed is least. Its kinetic energy has become least, and its potential energy is greatest.

Further : Kinetic energy, form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.

May be different for you, but i really hope I helped out.

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i
givi [52]
The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75
