Answer:

<em>The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv</em>

Explanation:

<u>Change of Momentum</u>

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m

b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m

c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m

Explanation:

a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:

x = v * t

where:

x = position of the spectators

v = speed of sound

t = time

Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:

x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m

b)For spectator B:

x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s

x = 43.9 m

The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.

c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:

(Distance AB)² = A² + B²

(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²

Distance AB = 90. 6 m

jeka94

Answer:

This question will be answered based on general photosynthetic understanding. The answer is:

The production of oxygen would increase

Explanation:

The characteristics of most plant forms is their ability to photosynthesize i.e. use solar energy (from sunlight) to make food (chemical energy). The product of this photosynthetic process is OXYGEN gas, which is released as a waste product via the stomata on their leaves. Note that, photosynthesis cannot occur without LIGHT as it provides the energy needed for the process.

Hence, in the duckweed plant like every other photosynthetic plant, the increase in the intensity and duration of exposure to light means the rate at which photosynthesis occurs will be increased. An increased photosynthetic rate means the synthesis of the products will also be increased i.e. glucose and OXYGEN.

The metric unit of force is _____. kg kg/cm3 kg/cm2 N

ioda

The metric unit of force is Newton or N. The Newton unit is also equal to kilogram per meter per second squared. The Newton name came from the late physicist Isaac Newton. It is also based on the second law of motion.

Someone please help with these 2

Ann [662]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula that you are working with is F = m*a

Since mass is one part of the formula if you increase the mass, you are going to increase the force.

The second one is much more difficult to answer because it is basically incomplete. This is one way to interpret it. If you start at a certain speed and increase during a known time period then effectively you are defining acceleration which is "a" in the formula.

Without those modifications, there is no answer.
