Explain what will happen if an object has high momentum or low momentum and a force is applied?

1 answer:

5 0

-- If the force is applied in the same direction as the object is moving, then the object's momentum in that direction will increase.

-- If the force is applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the way the object is moving, then the object's momentum will decrease.

-- In either case, the CHANGE in the object's momentum will be

(strength of the force) x (length of time the force is applied) .

This quantity is also called "impulse".

The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the

Maru [420]

Answer: $(48.41,\ 52.19)$

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : $n=9$

Sample mean : $\ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

$50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)$

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

$Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h$

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as: $Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h$

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

$Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)$

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?

GaryK [48]

Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment.
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).

Think Critically Suppose your teacher gave you a slide of an unknown cell. How would you tell whether the cell was from an anima

topjm [15]

Answer:

You will be able to tell whether the unknown cell is from an animal or from a plant through the knowledge of difference between plants and animal cells.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the simplest bit of living matter which exhibits a variety of shapes and sizes and that can exist independently.

When a slide of an unknown cell is studied under a microscope, different cell structures would be observed which would be used to conclude if the cell on the slide is a plant or animal cell.

The following features are observed in a plant cell:

--> cellulose cell wall is present

--> Chloroplast is present

--> A large central vacuole is present

--> Centriole is absent

The following features are observed in animal cell:

--> Cellulose cell wall is absent

--> Chloroplast is absent

--> Small vacuoles is present

--> Centriole is present

The difference between a plant and an animal cell can be seen from the features above and a clear knowledge of this will help the student tell whether the unknown cell is from an animal or from a plant.
