Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

Calculate the magnitude of the linear momentum for the following cases. (a) a proton with mass 1.67 10-27 kg, moving with a spee

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of proton :

$m_P=1.67\times 10^-^2^7\:kg\\$

Speed of Proton:

$v_P=4.85\times 10^6$

Linear Momentum of a particle having mass (m) and velocity (v) :

$-> p =m->v\:\:\: (1)$

Magnitude of momentum :

$p=mv\:\:\: (2)$

Frome equation (2), magnitude of linear momentum of the proton :

$p_P=m_P\:v_P\\\\p_P=1.67\times 10^-^2^7 \:kg\times4.85\times 10^6\:ms^-^1\\\\p_P= 8.0995\times 10^-^2^1\:kgms^-^1$

inn [45]

Answer:

Yes is large enough

Explanation:

We need to apply the second Newton's Law to find the solution.

We know that,

$F= ma$

And we know as well that

$a= \frac{v}{t}$

Replacing the aceleration value in the equation force we have,

$F= \frac{mv}{t}$

Substituting our values we have,

$F= \frac{(0.060)(55)}{4*10^{-3}}$

$F=825N$

The weight of the person is then,

$W = mg$

$W = (60)(9.8) = 558N$

<em>We can conclude that force on the ball is large to lift the ball</em>

You have no options here so I'll just answer. It can cause a rise in heart rate and greatly increases the risk of overheating and even death. If you grab the rabbit too hard, you risk breaking/fracturing a bone or causing other kinds of damage, whether externally or internally, to the rabbit.
