The equation
(option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.
The horizontal momentum is given by:


Where:
- m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
- m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>
Then, the horizontal momentum is:

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

Therefore, the equation
represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

Answer:
Juno scientific payload includes:
- A gravity/radio science system (Gravity Science)
- A six-wavelength microwave radiometer for atmospheric sounding and composition (MWR)
- A vector magnetometer (MAG)
- Plasma and energetic particle detectors (JADE and JEDI)
- A radio/plasma wave experiment (Waves)
- An ultraviolet imager/spectrometer (UVS)
- An infrared imager/spectrometer (JIRAM)
Explanation:
Each mission of NASA has a specific set of instruments that it uses to perform scientific experiments on the desired heavenly body. In case of Juno, the mission for Jupiter has a series of instruments that would study domains of gravitational forces, magnetic effect, particle detection, radiation detection, UV/IR imaging, and plasma experiments.
<span>The amplitude because that controls the height of the wave. Correct answer: Amplitude.</span>
Since, F = k . ∆x
Therefore, k = F / ∆x = 250 / 0.2 = 1250 N/m
