Answer: The heavy truck

Explanation: Momentum is defined as the amount of movement.

It can be written as P = m*v

Where P is the momentum, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity.

So you can see that if the mass increases, also does the momentum, so if both trucks move at the same velocity, then the truck with the bigger mas will have a bigger momentum.

Then the correct answer is the heavy truck

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

= ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

= 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

= ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

= 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

= 239.73 rad

What causes earth to have a complete year

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Earth's Tilt and The Seasons. Earth, like all of the planets in the Solar System, travels around the Sun. One complete orbit of the Sun is known as a year and it takes Earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds to complete an orbit. The changing seasons are caused by the fact that Earth is tilted. please vote me brainliest i can't message no one cuz i haven't got enough points i'm desperate.

A depiction of a famous scientific experiment is given. Consider how the beam changes when the magnet is off compared to when th

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of

v = E / B

Explanation:

After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.

* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.

* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced

$F_{e} = F_{m}$

q E = qv B

v = E / B

this configuration is called speed selector

They ask us what type of beam was used.

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B
