I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time. 

This is sneaky.  At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'.  But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed).  Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it.  If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.

If a ball is given a push so that it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s down a certain inclined plane, then the distance it has ro
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

v= 13 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the derivative of displacement with respect to time

v= ds/dt

Known data

s(t) = 5t + 2t²  : distance that the ball has rolled after t seconds

vi= 5 m/s : initial velocity

t= 2 s

Problem develoment

s(t) = 5t + 2t²

v= ds/dt= 5 + 4t : velocity of the ball in function of the time

We replace t =2 s in the equation of velocity

v= 5 + 4(2)

v= 13 m/s : velocity after 2 seconds

Answer:

The students conclusion is wrong.

Explanation:

The students conclusion is wrong because liquids can not soak into concrete. The water evaporated because it was a hot sunny day. The water turned into a gas called water vapor.

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnet field is a region around the magnet in which the magnetic force can be experienced. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. A Magnetic field originates from north pole and ends at south pole.

Magnets are of two types: Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

A moving charge produces magnetic field. A stationary charge can not produce a magnetic field.

The rate of flowing charge constitutes an electric current. If the cardboard is placed around the current carrying conductor and the iron fillings spread around the cardboard then the iron nails get stick to it. It means that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given statements are as follows;

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
