A quickly moving van and a slowly moving bird have a head-on collision. The bird splatters all over the windshield as a result.

During the collision, the greater force is experienced by…
a) …the bird!
b) …the van!
c) The force is the same for both!

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

the force is same on both the van and the bird.

According to the Newton's third law, there ia an equal and opposite forces acting on both the objects.

So, they both experience same force but the direction is opposite to each other.

Bird splatters all over because the bird cannot handle large force but van can handle so that the bird splatter all over the wind shield.

Suppose a cup of coï¬ee is at 100 degrees Celsius at time t = 0, it is at 70 degrees at t = 10 minutes, and it is at 50 degrees
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

T ambient = 10 degrees

Explanation:

Using Newton's Law of Cooling:

T(t) = Tamb + (Ti - Tamb)*e^(-kt)  ..... Eq 1

Ti = 100

We have two points to evaluate the above equation as follows:

T = 70 @ t = 10 using Eq 1  

70 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-10k)   ... Eq 2

T = 50 @ t = 20 using Eq 1

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-20k)   ... Eq 3

Solving the above Eq 2 and Eq 3 simultaneously:

Using Eq 2:

(70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb) = e^(-10k)  

Squaring both sides we get:

((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2 = e^(-20k)   .... Eq 4

Substitute Eq 4 into Eq 3

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2

After simplification:

50 = (Tamb (100-Tamb) + (70-Tamb)^2) / (100 - Tamb)

5000 - 50*Tamb = 4900 - 40*Tamb

Tamb = 100 / 10 = 10 degrees

Which one of the following statements concerning the momentum of a system when the net force acting on the system is equal to ze
Alex

Answer:

D

Explanation:

According to newton's 2nd law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. Since, net Force is zero this means momentum did not change or momentum of the body remained constant.

Hence, the system have constant value of momentum. Therefore, option D is correct.

Hello, I wanted an answer from a mathematician. The number 1.04 is closer to the number 1, 2, 1.25 or 1.5.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of the 4 numbers given, the answer is 1 or A

If you take the absolute value of abs(1 - 1.04) you get 0.04.

(2 - 1.04) = 0.96

1.25 - 1.04 = .21

1.5 - 1.04 = 0.46

The last three are all larger than 0.04

Note: absolute value means the positive difference between 2 numbers (even  though it is negative). If it is negative, absolute value makes it positive.

Explain the following observations:
Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.
