A block oscillating up and down on a spring comes to the top of its path, where it is momentarily at rest. At the instant it is

at rest, what is the direction of the rate of change of its momentum?

Opposite to the direction of the velocity which led it to its current position.

Explanation:

The direction of momentum when a vertically oscillating block comes to the rest momentarily will be opposite to the direction of the velocity that it has just followed to reach reach its current position.

The direction of change in momentum at the bottom will be upwards and at the top will be downwards.

The change in momentum is mathematically defined as:

\Delta P=m.v_f-m.v_i

where:

m= mass of the block

v_f= final velocity of the block

v_i= initial velocity of the block

When the block comes to rest it is due to the result of continuously decreasing velocity.

Express the number in scientific notation: 4/100
ankoles [38]

Answer:

4*10^-2

Explanation:

for the scientific notation the first number must be between 1 and 10, so in this case it is 4. 4/100 is also equal to 0.04, and if we could the number of places before 4, there are two, therefore 4 times 10 to the power of -2

4. The chart shows melting and boiling points of
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Firstly, it should be noted that the freezing point of a substance can be assumed to be melting point of that substance because a substance will normally change from liquid to solid (freezes) at the same point it changes from solid to liquid (melts). For example, water freezes at 0°C and also starts melting at 0°C.

Thus, the substance with the lowest melting point among the substances mentioned in the question is alcohol (ethanol) with the melting point of -114°C. Hence, <u>ethanol also has the lowest freezing point thereby freezing at the lowest temperature.</u>

Sound travels at a speed of 330 m/s. If a lightning bolt strikes the ground 3 km away from you, how long will it take for the so
mestny [16]

Answer: 9.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

speed of sound = 330 m/s

Distance away = 3 km

(since the SI unit of distance is metres, convert 3km to metres

1km = 1000 metres

3km = (3 x 10000) = 3000 metres

Time it take for the sound to reach you = ?

Now, recall that speed is obtained by dividing distance travelled by the time taken.

i.e speed = distance / time

330 m/s = 3000 m / time

Time = 3000 m / 330 m/s

Time = 9.09 seconds

Thus, it will take 9.09 seconds for the sound to reach you.
