F = m₁ a₁ = m₂ a₂

if m₁ = m and m₂ = 2m :

F = ma₁ = 2m  a₂ ⇒ a₁ = 2 a₂
 
since v = at + v₀  with t = 3, v₀ = 0 ⇒ v = 3a:

v₁ = 2 v₂

since p = vm with v₁ = 2v and v₂ = v :

p₁ = v₁m₁ = 2v ⁻ m
p₂ = v₂m₂ = v ⁻ 2m

p₁ = p₂

How far did the object travel by the end of eight seconds, according to the graph above?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>The object traveled 4 cm by the end of eight seconds.</em> Correct: A)

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Time Graph</u>

In a speed-time graph, speed is plotted on the vertical axis and time is plotted on the horizontal axis. If the graph is a horizontal line, the speed is constant, if the line is sloped up, the speed is increasing and the acceleration is positive and constant, and if the line is sloped down, the speed is decreasing and the acceleration is negative and constant.

The distance traveled by the object can be found by calculating the area under the graph and above the x-axis.

The graph provided shows two different zones: the first 4 seconds, the speed is constant at 1 cm/s, and the last 4 seconds, the speed is zero, i.e. the object is not moving.

The area behind the first zone is a rectangle of height 1 cm/s and base 4 sec, thus the distance is 1 * 4 = 4 centimeters.

The second zone corresponds to an object at rest, thus no distance is traveled.

The object traveled 4 cm by the end of eight seconds.

A) Correct. As shown above

B) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

C) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

D) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

What happens to a circuit's resistance (R), voltage (V), and current (1) when
hammer [34]

Answer:

D.

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = \frac{(Resistivity)(L)}{A}

It is clear from this formula that resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire. So, when length of wire is increased, <u>the resistance of circuit increases</u>.

The <u>voltage in the circuit will be constant</u> as the voltage source remains same and it is not changed.

Now, we can use Ohm Law:

V = IR

at constant V:

I ∝ 1/R

it means that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Hence, the increase of resistance causes <u>the current in circuit to decrease.</u>

Therefore, the correct option will be:

<u>D.</u>

<u>R increases </u>

<u>V is constant </u>

<u>I decreases</u>

If the mass of a 1.8 g paperclip was able to be completely converted to energy, how much energy would you obtain?
Anton [14]

Answer:

E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg

We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

E=mc^2

Where

c is the speed of light

So,

E=0.0018\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

So, the energy obtained is 1.62\times 10^{14}\ J.
