Released weight increases in velocity.

momentum increases as force increases.

momentum= mass x velocity

the wrecking ball has a bigger mass and weight.

the mass of the weight of the wrecking ball is constant, the velocity of the weight as it swings must be increased if momentum is going to be increased.

Answer: A wrecking ball can destroy a building because it is larger, and when it hits something, it exerts a lot of <u>kinetic energy.</u>

A yo-yo is too small and does not exert as much kinetic energy because of it's size.

Hope this helps!

Consider a uniform electric field of 50 N/C directed toward the east. If the voltage measured relative to ground at a given poin
qaws [65]

Answer:

30 V

Explanation:

Given that:

The uniform electric field = 50 N/C

Voltage = 80 V

distance = 1.0 m

The potential difference of the electric field = Δ V

E_d = V₁ - V₂

50 × 1 = 80V - V₂

50 - 80 V = - V₂

-30 V = - V₂

V₂ = 30 V

It depends on the type of interference.
For constructive interference, add the amplitudes to get |35 + 41| = 76 units.
For destructive, subtract them |35 - 41| = 6 units

A student drops a ball from the top of a 10-meter tall building. The ball leaves the thrower's hand with a zero speed. What is t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY HOMEWORK!!!!!
IgorC [24]

Known :

l = 7 cm

w = 4 cm

Asked :

h = ...?

Answer :

V = B triangle × h (long)

35 = ½ × 4 × h × 7

35 = ½ × 28 × h

35 = 14 h

h = 35 ÷ 14

h = 2,5 cm
