Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Starburst galaxies:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

are often associated with a galaxy that is colliding with another galaxy.

Explanation:

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy that undergoes very fast formation of stars. The rate at which stars are born is 100 times more than 3 solar masses per year of the Milky Way. The starburst is stage of the formation of a galaxy. After this stage is complete the stars will have used almost all the gas in it. As the star formation rate is very fast the difference between the age of the stars and the galaxy itself is very less. The star formation is triggered by mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies.

What physical property causes liquids to not separate in a container?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B) boiling point

Explanation:

The movement of the particles causes the shape of the liquid to change. The liquid will flow and fill to the lowest part of the container, in the shape of the container

But the volume does not change. The limited amount of space between the particles means that the liquid has only very limited compressibility.

Which of the following statements is not one of Newton's laws of motion?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The answer to your question: d.

Explanation:

a. The rate of change of momentum of an object is equal to the net force applied to the object.  

This is the second a law of motion, so this answer is incorrect.

b. In the absence of a net force acting on it, an object moves with constant velocity.

This is the first Newton law of motion, so this option is not correct.

c. For any force, there always is an equal and opposite reaction force.

This is the third law of motion, so this is not the right option.

d. What goes up must come down.

Newton said this sentence, but is not part of the law of motion.
