Number 10 and an explaination would be fabulous. thanks!

Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ... Can you finish it from here ?

Which of the following statements are true? Select all correct responses. Choose all that apply. Choose all that apply. The tota

Ne4ueva [31]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

-The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

-The total momentum of any number of particles is equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the individual particles.

-The vector sum of forces acting on a particle equals the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Momentum is a vector quantity, and therefore we need to use vector addition when summing together the momenta of the multiple bodies which make up a system.
The vector sum of forces acting on a particle is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time. This is according to the Newton's second Law of motion. In mathematical terms, ֿF = d ֿp/dt, that is F= ma.
According to the Law of conservation of Momentum, or a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

1 kg air in a piston-cylinder assembly is heated at constant pressure, resulting the expansion of the volume. the initial temper

rewona [7]

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W = R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n = 34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W = (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ

dangina [55]

<span>The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. After an asteroid belt comes the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The interesting thing is, in some other planetary systems discovered, the gas giants are actually quite close to the sun</span>

A truck is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 13 m/s. If the centripetal force on the truck is 3,300 N and

Paladinen [302]

Answer: Option B.

Since here the truck is moving on a circular track, it will experience centripetal force.

F(centripetal) = m × acc
or
$r = \frac{m v^{2}}{F}$

where r is the radius of the track.
m is the mass of truck
v is the speed of the truck.
Given: v = <span>13 m/s
m = </span><span>1,600 kg
</span>F = 3300 Newton

To find = radius of track=?
$r = \frac{m v^{2} }{F}$
$r = \frac{1600*13*13}{3300}$
r = 81.94 m
Therefore, radius of track is 81.94 m
