<h2>Answer:</h2>

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum of bicycle = 30 × 10 = 300 kgms¯¹

Momentum of car = 300 × 0 = 0 kgms¯¹

<h3>Therefore, 300 > 0 so momentum of bicycle is more. Hence, option A is correct. </h3>

Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think, Discuss it with your friends and teacher

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

An object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it

Explanation:

When a object moves with a constant velocity (v), then it gets displaced in the direction of motion but the net external force experienced by the object is zero.

F external =ma

If object moves with constant velocity, acceleration is zero.

Since, a=0 ⟹F external =0

Using s=ut+ 1/2 at ^2

⟹ Displacement s=ut (∵a=0)

Hence, an object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it

Hope this helped you:)

The temperature of a solution will be estimated by taking n independent readings and averaging them. Each reading is unbiased, w

Viktor [21]

Answer:

68 readings.

Explanation:

We need to take this problem as a statistic problem where the normal distribution table help us.

We can start considerating that X is the temperature of the solution, then

$0.9 = P(|\bar{x}-\mu|$

$0.9 = P(\frac{|\bar{x}-\mu|}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$0.9 = P(|Z|$

For a confidence level of 90% our $Z_{critic}$ is 1.645

Therefore,

$\frac{0.1}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} = 1.645$

Substituting for $\sigma = 5$ and re-arrange for n, we have that n is equal to

$n=(\frac{1.645\sigma}{0.1})^2$

$n=\frac{(1.645)^2(0.5)^2}{0.1^2}$

$n=67.65$

$n=68$

We need to make 68 readings for have a probability of 90% and our average is within $0.1\°\frac$

A fighter plane is flying overhead at mach 1.50. What angle does the wave front of the shock wave produced make relative to the

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

θ = 41.80°

Explanation:

Given that

Mach number M= 1.5

We know that

M = u/c

Where c is the velocity of sound and u is the speed of plane

c= 340 m/s

u = 1.5 x 340 m/s

u = 510 m/s

We know that

$sin\theta =\dfrac{c}{u}$

Now by putting the values

$sin\theta =\dfrac{c}{u}$

$sin\theta =\dfrac{340}{510}$

θ = 41.80°

So the angle will be 41.80°.
