Answer:

<u>Momentum of 2 kg ball:</u>

velocity = 6 m/s

momentum (p)= mv

p = (2)(6) kg m/s

p = 12 kg m/s

kg m/s can also be written as 'N'

Force of 2 kg ball = 12 N

<u>Momentum of 3 kg ball:</u>

velocity = 4 m/s

momentum (p) = mv

p = (3)(4)

p = 12 kg m/s

Since kg m/s can also be written as 'N'

Force of 3 kg ball = 12 N

Now that we have the force applied by both the balls, we can find the resultant force using vector addition

2 kg ball's vector = -12 i

3 kg ball's vector = -12 j

Adding both the vectors, we get:

Resultant vector = -12 i -12 j

The speed both the balls will move at, is the magnitude of the resultant vector

Magnitude of the resultant vector:

|R|² = (i vector)² + (j vector)²

|R|² = (-12)² + (-12)²

|R|² = 144 + 144

|R|² = 288

|R| = √288

|R| = 17 m/s (approx)

The balls will move at a velocity of 17 m/s

<u>Direction of the Common velocity:</u>

TanΘ = Opposite / Adjacent

TanΘ = 12 / 12

Tan Θ = 1

Θ = Arctan(1)

Θ = 45 degrees

Therefore, the common velocity will be 45 degrees down from the horizontal

(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>

Explanation:

a) Acceleration due to gravity

                      g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

 Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,

                G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

    Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

    Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m

Substituting,

                g=\frac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(6.957\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274.21m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²

b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²

   Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95

   Weight = mg

  Factor of increase in weight = 27.95

An experiment is conducted using 2 plants to determine if the amount of sunlight they receive affects how fast they grow. Which
Phantasy [73]

Greetings!

The correct answer choice is Choice 4.

<em>Why?</em>

In a scientific experiment the only thing being changed is the independent variable. Everything else should stay the same.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight each plant should receive. <em>Here's a tip</em>- when looking for and independent variable look for whats being changed on purpose.

Hope this helps!
