Answer:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance  2) by  only 2 weighings.

Explanation:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance  2) by  only 2 weighings.

Make the following groups - --- (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8)

Step 1. compare the Weigh (1,2,3) and (4,5,6)

there are 2 possible outcomes:

1---both the group are of same weight. and named as (Case A)

2--- one of the group is heavier than other and named as  (Case B)

Step 2. Let examine both case

In Case A --in this case, now compare the weight of 7th and 8th ball. By this you have recognize the heavier ball by 2 weighing method.

In Case B -- considered the heaviest group (assume group (1,2,3) is heavy), from this group take randomly two ball and compare the their weight. out of these two ball, one  is heavy else the third ball is.

Why is it impossible to create a perpetual motion machine?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

It is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine because some of the energy will always be lost in the conversion  and therefore it will eventually stop.

Correct Answer : Option B

Explanation:

The perpetual motion machine is impossible machine as it is hypothetical working machine which would be in motion for an indefinite time in continuity of the motion. The continuity of motion for an indefinite time would mean that the working principle of the machine would never allow the dissipation of energy from the machine and all the machine would ultimately reserve all the energy and be converting it into forms without any loss.

This working principle is violation of first and second laws of thermodynamics and hence a machine will eventually lose some of its energy in every conversion of the working cycle and hence there will be a time where the machine would be stopped, and hence a perpetual motion machine cannot be made.

The change in momentum that occurs when a 1. 0 kg ball traveling at 4. 0 m/s strikes a wall and bounces back at 2. 0 m/s is.
Doss [256]

Answer:

The change is momentum is given by ∆p=p(inital) - p(final) =4-2=2 kg.m/s

Explanation:

momentum is the product of mass and velocity (speed)

So it's initial momentum would be:

p=mv=(1)(4)=4 kg.m/s

It's final momentum is given by:

p=mv=(1)(2)=2 kg.m/s

Answer:

true

Explanation:

for example assume you are setting in a moving bus and when someone see you from the ground you are in motion but for some who is with you in the bus you are not in motion.

What relationship exists between speed, velocity, and acceleration
enyata [817]
Velocity is speed and the direction of the speed. Acceleration is the rate at which Velocity is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.

Which of the following describes the relationship of conductance to a conductor?
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>The answer is The conductance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.</span>  <span>Conductance is directly related to the ease offered by any material to the passage of electric current. Conductance is the opposite of resistance. The higher the conductance, the lower the resistance and vice versa, the greater the resistance, the less conductance, so both are inversely proportional</span>
