Explanation:

Take south to be negative.

a. Momentum is mass times velocity.

p = mv

p = (540 kg) (-6 m/s)

p = -3240 kg m/s

p = 3240 kg m/s south

b. Impulse = change in momentum

J = Δp

Since the mass is constant:

J = mΔv

J = (540 kg) (-4 m/s − (-6 m/s))

J = 1080 kg m/s

J = 1080 kg m/s north

The resource speaks of the atmosphere as if it were living, in the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from

Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.

Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.

Wave-particle duality tells us that wave and particle models apply to all objects whatever the size, so why don't we observe wav

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Because the wavelengths of macroscopic objects are too short for them to be detectable.

Explanation:

Wavelength of an object is given by de Broglie wavelength as:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$

Where, 'h' is Planck's constant, 'm' is mass of object and 'v' is its velocity.

So, for macroscopic objects, the mass is very large compared to microscopic objects. As we can observe from the above formula, there is an inverse relationship between the mass and wavelength of the object.

So, for vary larger masses, the wavelength would be too short and one will find it undetectable. Therefore, we don't observe wave properties in macroscopic objects.
