Answer:

Equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

Explanation:

We are given that

Two difference masses .

Force act on both masses for the same length of time.

We have to find the change in momentum of the smaller mass.

Let M and m are two masses

M>m

We know that

Change in momentum for large mass= $F\Delta t$

Change in momentum for small mass= $F\Delta t$

Because Force and length of time are same for both masses .

Hence, the change in momentum of smaller mass is equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

Advocard [28]

Answer: No.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can be tested several times, and follows the scientific method. And, when possible, theories are tested with experiments.

Now, a scientific theory must meet some criteria, and one of those is that it must be supported by several (and independent) strands of evidence.

In this case, we have only one, Meatball, and it is not enough, then it can not be a scientific theory.

In most cases, how many electrons does it take to completely fill the

Lyrx [107]

Answer: 2

Explanation:

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.

A 23 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 130 m/s when, due to an internal exp

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Vx = 1088m/s

b) Vy = -162.93m/s

c) 5246745J

Explanation:

Mass of unbroken body = 23kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Mass of first broken body, m1= 9.4kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Nass of 2nd broken body, m2 = 6.1kg

Its velocity long-lived X - axis = -550m/s

Mass of 3rd broken body = ?

m3 = (23 - 9.4 - 6.1)kg

m3 = 7.5kg

Let velocity along the x-axis = Vx

Let the velocity along the x-axis = Vy

Applying law of conservation of momentum along x-axis

a) m1×0 + m2×(-550) + m3×(Vx) =M × 130

9.4 × 0 + 6.1× (-550) + 7.5(Vx) = 23 ×130

0 + (-5170) + 7.5Vx = 2990

2990 + 5170 = 7.5Vx

8160 = 7.5Vx

Vx = 8160/7.5

Vx = 1088m/s

b) Aplying conservation of momentum along the x-axis

(m1×130) + (m2 × 0) + (m3× Vy) = 0

(9.4 × 130) + (6.1 ×550) + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 + 0 + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 = -7.5Vy

Vy = 1222/(-7.5)

Vy = -262.93m/s

c) The energy released or change in KE is given by:

1/2[(m1v1^2) + (m2v2^2) +(m3Vx^2) ]= MV^2

Change in KE = 1/2[ 9.4× 130^2 + 6.1 × 550^2 + 7.5 × 1088^2 ] - 1/2(23 × 130^2)

Change in KE = 1/2[158860 + 1845250 + 8878080] - 1/2[388700]

Change in KE = 5441095 - 194350

Change in KE = 5246745J

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the

Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }$

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm

second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm

second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm

fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm

final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s$

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P

From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm

Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

↓end

↓

↓ 6cm

↓

start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

$P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm$

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.136 \ cm/s \\\\$

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
