Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added.

A bowling ball has a mass of 5 kg. What happens to its momentum when the speed increases from 1 m/s to 2 m/s?

Alona [7]

<span>The initial momentum is 5 kg m/s and the final momentum is 10 kg m/s

'cause P = m*v, when we increase either m or v, P also increases by the same expression,

P = 5 * 2 = 10

So, option D is your answer!!

Hope this helps!

If you travel from Yakima to Ellensburg (Yakima to Ellensburg is 50 miles) with a speed of 60 miles/hour for half of the

koban [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{480}{7}\approx 68.6\; \rm mph$ .

Explanation:

The average speed of an object is equal to total distance over total time.

Distance traveled: $\rm 50 \; mi$ .

How much time is taken? This trip is divided into two halves, each of distance $\displaystyle \frac{50}{2} = 25\;\rm mi$ .

Time spent on the first half of the trip:

$\displaystyle t_1 = \frac{s_1}{v_1} = \frac{25}{60} = \frac{5}{12}\; \rm hours$ .

Similarly, time spent on the second half of the trip:

$\displaystyle t_2 = \frac{s_2}{v_2} = \frac{25}{80} = \frac{5}{16}\; \rm hours$ .

In total:

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{16} = \frac{35}{48} \; \rm hours$ .

Average speed:

$\begin{aligned} \text{Average speed} &= \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}\\ &= 50 \left/\frac{35}{48}\right.\\ &= 50 \cdot \frac{48}{35} \\&= \frac{480}{7}\approx 68.6\; \rm mph \end{aligned}$ .

This value turned out to be slightly different from the average of the speed during the two halves of the journey. The reason is that the object traveled at each speed for a different amount of time. It spent more time at the slower speed, which gives that speed a greater weight in the average. That explains why the average speed is closer to $\rm 60\; mph$ rather than $\rm 80\; mph$ .
