Answer:

The right answer is inertia.

Explanation:

This name is given to the tendency of an object that is moving to remain that way, or if it is resting remain that way until an external force act upon it. Basically it means an object does what they are doing unless a force changes their speed or direction.

It's the natural tendency of things to keep going unless there's something trying to stop them.

It's usually called "inertia".

Don't get the idea from all of this that things stop unless there's something to keep them going. The truth is exactly the opposite: Things keep going unless there's something to make them stop.

MrRa [10]

Yes, our friend is right, because there is no contradiction to the law of conservation of mass in the above equation. It just the mass of the product is equal to the mass of reactants.. and that is shown in the equation you have presented earlier

Will the positioning of your Slinky along the east-west, north-south, or some other orientation affect your readings? Why?

Oxana [17]

Positioning your Slinky along any direction different from its initial position will affect your reading, because there will be change in the magnetic field.

<h3>Effect of magnet on Slinky</h3>

If the Slinky is made of an iron alloy, it can be magnetized by itself. Moving the Slinky around can cause a change in the magnetic field, even if no current is flowing.

When there is a change in the magnetic field, the reading changes.

At any point, you change the orientation of the Slinky, you will need to zero the reading or adjust the Slinky back to its initial position, even if the sensor does not move.

Thus, Positioning your Slinky along any direction that is different to its initial position will affect your reading because there will be change in the magnetic field.

A 0.272-kg volleyball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 12.6 m/s. The player strikes the ball with her fist and c

Nady [450]

(a) +9.30 kg m/s

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:

$I= \Delta p = m \Delta v = m (v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the object, with

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

For the volleyball in this problem:

m = 0.272 kg

u = -12.6 m/s

v = +21.6 m/s

So the impulse is

$I=(0.272 kg)(21.6 m/s - (-12.6 m/s)=+9.30 kg m/s$

(b) 155 N

The impulse can also be rewritten as

$I=F \Delta t$

where

F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

In this situation, we have

$\Delta t = 0.06 s$

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{9.30 kg m/s}{0.06 s}=155 N$

Anna pushes a box with a force of 8.00 newtons. She generates a power of 3.00 watts. How much time does it take for Anna to move

QveST [7]

Power is the energy in a system per time. It will have units of Watts which is equal to joules per second. It can be expressed as:

P = E / t

where E = Force x distance

P = Fd / t
t = Fd / P
t = 8 (9.72) / 3.0
t = 25.92 s
