Physics

Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.  The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth!  The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

Rex decides to launch a priceless vase into the air at a 90-degree angle. The initial velocity vase is +7.0 m/s. Dylan claims th
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

D. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range​

Explanation:

Projectile is the motion of an object thrown into space. When an object is thrown into space, the only force which acts on it is the acceleration due to gravity.

An object thrown into space would reach maximum height (vertical range) if it is launched at an angle of 90 degrees. For maximum horizontal range, the object needs to be launched at an angle of 45 degrees.

Therefore Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range​

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity?
Snowcat [4.5K]
By definition,
Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Let v =  the velocity of the truck, m/s
The mass of the truck is 36,287 kg.
The momentum is 907,175 (kg-m)/s.

Therefore
907,175 (kg-m)/s = (36287 kg)*(v m/s)
v = 907175/36287 = 25 m/s

Answer: 25 m/s

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.
