To determine the object which could give the greatest impact we will apply the concept of momentum. The object that has the highest momentum will be the object that will impact the strongest. Our values are

Mass of Object A

$m_A=1.9 kg$

Velocity of object A

$v_A=8ms$

Mass of object B

$m_B=2 kg$

Velocity of object B

$v_B=5ms$

The general formula for momentum is the product between mass and velocity, then

$p = mv$

For each object we have then,

$p_A=m_Av_A=1.9 kg(8ms)=15.2kg \cdot m/s$

$p_B=m_Bv_B=2 kg(5ms)=10kg \cdot m/s$

Since the momentum of object A is greater than that of object B, then object A will make you feel force upon impact.

Mr. Fuller assigned his science class a lab comparing the masses of objects to the nearest gram using a balance. The mass of a p

Tomtit [17]

The scale would need 10 aluminum cubes on one side. Figure out how many paper clips would be needed on the other side to balance this. You have to use more than one aluminum cube because you need to have enough cubes so that you get a whole number mass. 10 cubes gives you a total mass of 27 g for the aluminum.

Why are strong forces able to hold atomic nuclei together?

Galina-37 [17]

The nucleons(protons and neutrons) are held together by means of this strong force. If this strong never existed, all the nucleus will blow themselves due to strong repulsive force between protons(neutron has no charge).
Thats it!
If I explain beyond, it will surely bounce off your head. Anyways, if you wanna know more bout it, ping me. (:

A thin, uniform rod is bent into a square of side length a. If the total mass is M, find the moment of inertia about an axis thr

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is

$I_s = \frac{Ma^2}{3}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of one side of the square is $a$

The total mass of the square is $M$

Generally the mass of one size of the square is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 = \frac{M}{4}$

Generally the moment of inertia of one side of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_g = \frac{1}{12} * m_1 * a^2$

Generally given that $m_1 = m_2 = m_3 = m_4 = m$ it means that this moment inertia evaluated above apply to every side of the square

Now substituting for $m_1$

So

$I _g= \frac{1}{12} * \frac{M}{4} * a^2$

Now according to parallel-axis theorem the moment of inertia of one side of the square about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_a = I_g + m [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

=> $I_a = I_g + {\frac{M}{4} }* [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

substituting for $I_g$

=> $I_a = \frac{1}{12} * \frac{M}{4} * a^2 + {\frac{M}{4} }* [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

=> $I_a = \frac{Ma^2}{48} + \frac{Ma^2}{16}$

=> $I_a = \frac{Ma^2}{12}$

Generally the moment of inertia of the square about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_s = 4 * I_a$

=> $I_s = 4 * \frac{Ma^2}{12}$

=> $I_s = \frac{Ma^2}{3}$
