Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C                        

There is no external force acting in the system hence the momentum will be conserved.                                    

As the milk is leaking out of the tank mass of the tanker is decreasing.

When the mass of the container will decrease to  conservation the momentum speed of the container will have to be increased.

So, the car carrying milk will speed up.

If your weight is 120 pounds and your mass is 54 kilograms how would those values change if you were on the moon
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The gravitation acceleration on the moon is different than on Earth. It is 1.6 m/s^2. If you weigh 120 lbs, then you would multiply 120 pounds by the gravitational acceleration on the moon and then divide by the acceleration on Earth.

(120 lbs * 1.6) / 9.8 = 20 pounds.

The mass will always be the same no matter what planet you’re on, so it’s still 54 kg.

A dog of mass 4 kg runs up a hill of height 8 m. How much gravitational potential energy does the dog gain?
Genrish500 [490]
A. 314 because when you use the formula for the GPE ; GPE=MGH or means mass times gravity time height (4x8x9.8) and thats equivalent to 313.6 which rounds up to 314. Hope it helps

A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from an initial height of 5 ft. write a quadratic function equation
Andrei [34K]
During upward projection the final velocity is zero, and the gravitational acceleration is -10 m/s² (against the gravity).
Therefore; using the equation;
S = 1/2gt² + ut
Where s is the height h, g is gravitational acceleration, and t is the time and u is the initial velocity u, is 16 ft/s.
Thus; h= 1/2(-10)t² + 16t
We get; h = -5t² + 16t
Therefore; the quadratic equation is 5t² - 16t + h =0
