Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?

Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

Sherry and Ellen are talking about the factors that affect light scattering in the atmosphere. Sherry says one factor is the len
Delvig [45]

Sherry who says one factor is the length of the path of sunlight is correct.

<h3>Factors affecting light scattering</h3>

There are two main factors which affects light scattering, and they include the following;

  1. the size of the particles
  2. wavelength of the light

length of the path of sunlight is equivalent to wavelength of the light.

Thus, we can conclude that Sherry who says one factor is the length of the path of sunlight is correct.

please help me guys please please please please please please please please please please please please please​
seropon [69]

Answer:

1.F = 256 N

2.a = 8 m/s/s

By looking at the given information, you know force, and an acceleration. Therefore you have enough information to use the first formula.

F = ma

256 N = m * 8 m/s/s

m = 256 N/8 m/s/s

m = 32 Kg

5. If a spring with a 40 N/m spring constant is used to push a 10 kg ball to a speed of 2 m/s,
kolbaska11 [484]

By compressing the spring a distance <em>x</em> (in m), you are storing 1/2 <em>k</em> <em>x</em> ² (in J) of potential energy, which is converted completely into kinetic energy 1/2 <em>m v</em> ², where

• <em>k</em> = 40 N/m = spring constant

• <em>m</em> = 10 kg = mass of the ball

• <em>v</em> = 2 m/s = ball's speed (at the moment the spring returns to its equilibrium point)

So we have

1/2 <em>k</em> <em>x</em> ² = 1/2 <em>m</em> <em>v</em> ²

<em>x</em> = √(<em>m</em>/<em>k</em> <em>v</em> ²) = √((10 kg) / (40 N/m) (2 m/s)²) = 1 m

HELP ME!!! NO LINKS!!! Compare and Contrast the scientific definitions of theory and law. Explain why the first law of thermodyn
Nataly_w [17]
The date the model was published.

The use of “laws” originated prior to science splitting from natural philosophy. There’s an implicit assumption that God as the creator laid down both moral and natural laws, with the theologian concerned with the former and the natural philosopher concerned with the latter.

“Theory” begins to take hold in the late 1700s and, very roughly speaking, is used to describe more complex models. “Law” eventually became nearly archaic, although still used to describe very pithy models (Amdahl’s Law, Gustafson’s Law).

The word “model” is gradually superseding both of them.

People have tried to come up with hard-and-fast rules to distinguish them, but scientists are unruly beasts, and use whatever language suits them in the moment.
