Answer:

Saturn is mainly composed of the lightest two gases known, hydrogen and helium. It is the only planet in our solar system whose density is less than water.

Which kinds of objects emit visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Triss [41]

Answer : Relatively hot objects

Explanation : We know that, the temperature of the objects is inversely proportional to their wavelengths. The objects emitting radiation in the visible region have short wavelength and hence are relatively hotter.

We know the range of wavelength of the visible spectrum is from 400 nm to 780 nm.

Compare the catching of two different water balloons.

Stels [109]

Answer:

a. The volume V₁ and V₂

b. The case that involves the greatest momentum change = Case B

c. The case that involves the greatest impulse = Case B

d. b. The case that involves the greatest force = Case B

Explanation:

Here we have

Case A: V₁ = 150-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

Case B: V₂ = 600-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

a. The variable that is different for the two cases is the volume V₁ and V₂

b. The momentum change is by the following relation;

ΔM₁ = Mass, m × Δv₁

The mass of the balloon are;

Δv₁ = Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity

Mass = Density × Volume

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Case A, mass = 150 × 0.997 = 149.55 g

Case B, mass = 600 × 0.997 = 598.2 g

The momentum change is;

Case A: Mass, m × Δv₁ = 149.55 g/1000 × 8 m/s = 1.1964 g·m/s

Case B: Mass, m × Δv₁ = 598.2/1000 × 8 = 4.7856 g·m/s

Therefore Case B has the greatest momentum change

The case that has the gretest momentum change = Case B

c. The momentum change = impulse therefore Case B involves the greatest impulse

d. Here we have;

Impulse = Momentum change = $F_{average}$ × Δt = mΔV

∴ $F_{average}$ = m·ΔV/Δt

∴ For Case A $F_{average}$ = 149.55×8/Δt = 1196.4/Δt N

For Case B $F_{average}$ = 598.2×8/Δt = 4785.6/Δt

Where Δt is the same for Case A and Case B, $F_{average}$ for Case B >> $F_{average}$ for Case B

Therefore, Case B involves the greatest force.

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.27 meters above the ground. later, an acorn f

Alexandra [31]

The acorn was at a height of <u>4.15 m</u> from the ground before it drops.

The acorn takes a time t to fall through a distance h₁, which is the length of the scale. When the acorn reaches the top of the scale, its velocity is u.

Calculate the speed of the acorn at the top of the scale, using the equation of motion,

$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Since the acorn falls freely under gravity, its acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Substitute 2.27 m for s (=h₁), 0.301 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for a (=g).

$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2\\ (2.27 m)=u(0.301s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)(0.301s)^2\\ u=\frac{1.8261m}{0.301s} =6.067m/s$

If the acorn starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6.067 m/s at the top of the scale, it would have fallen a distance h₂ to achieve this speed.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.067 m/s for v, 0 m/s for u, 9.8 m/s² for a (=g) and h₂ for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (6.067m/s)^2=(0m/s)^2+2(9.8m/s^2)h_2\\ h_2=\frac{(6.067m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =1.878 m$

The height h above the ground at which the acorn was is given by,

$h=h_1+h_2=(2.27 m)+(1.878 m)=4.148 m$

The acorn was at a height <u>4.15m</u> from the ground before dropping down.
