Answer:

4. All the momentum starts in one ball, and after the collision, it is all in the other ball.

Explanation:

All the momentum starts in the first ball (the one is moving) . When this ball collides with the second ball, the first ball stops but its momentum it is transferred to the second ball, then to the third then fourth until it reaches the very last ball. Only the last ball has momentum now because is the only one moving.

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled
Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

C=kC_0

where

k is the dielectric constant

C_0 is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

C_0=1.2 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

C=3.0 nF is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Select three options.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Description of an object in projectile motion is;

  • Gravity acts to pull the object down.
  • The object’s inertia carries it forward.
  • The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The path of the projectile is usually curved, and NOT straight, due to the influence of gravity on it which is teh only force acting on it-, causing it motion path to fall towards the earth. Most projectiles follow a parabolic path. The projectile, even though it was launched, its motion is then only due to its own inertia – tendency to stay in motion in a straight line, or rest, unless an external force is acting on it - such as drag or friction.  An example of such projectile motion is of ballistic missiles.
