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!

How can two substances be made up of the same two elements but have very different properties?
asambeis [7]
So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

A student walks 350 m [S], then 400 m [E20°N], and finally 550 m [N10°W]. Using the component method, find the resultant (total)
levacccp [35]

In component form, the displacement vectors become

• 350 m [S]   ==>   (0, -350) m

• 400 m [E 20° N]   ==>   (400 cos(20°), 400 sin(20°)) m

(which I interpret to mean 20° north of east]

• 550 m [N 10° W]   ==>   (550 cos(100°), 550 sin(100°)) m

Then the student's total displacement is the sum of these:

(0 + 400 cos(20°) + 550 cos(100°), -350 + 400 sin(20°) + 550 sin(100°)) m

≈ (280.371, 328.452) m

which leaves the student a distance of about 431.8 m from their starting point in a direction of around arctan(328.452/280.371) ≈ 50° from the horizontal, i.e. approximately 431.8 m [E 50° N].

In Millikan's oil-drop experiment, one looks ata small oil drop held motionless between two plates. Take the voltage betwee the
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Explanation:

Electric field due to plates

Ef = V/d  

Ef = 2033 V / (2.0 * 10^-2 m )

Ef = 101650 V/m

So, we can write  

Ef * q = m*g

q = m*g / E f

The mass can be equal using the density and the volume so:

m = ρ * v

The volume can be find as:

v = 2.298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³

q =  ρ * v * g / Ef

q =  81 x 10 ³ kg/ m³ * 2.2298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³ * 9.8 m/s² / 101650 V/m

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C
