Answer:

Since momentum equals mass times velocity, a very slow-moving elephant could have the same momentum as a very fast-moving golf ball. ... m/s because momentum is conserved.

Answer:

No.

To understand the problem, we first have to analyze how momentum can be affected. Basically, momentum depends on how much stuff is moving and how fast that stuff is moving, as well. Considering the first factor, we can clearly see that an elephant's mass is significantly larger than the mass of a golf ball, despite the fact that they can possibly be moving in the same speed. Suppose that their momentums are somehow equal, this also means that the goft ball must be moving in an incredibly fast speed since p = m × v ( which is nearly impossible).

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. )directed upward.

Explanation:

As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.

This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.

As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.

So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.

A 12 volt car battery is connected to a 3 ohm brake light. What is the current carrying energy to the lights?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

V = IR, where V=voltage, I=current, R=resistance. This is Ohm's Law. (remember that for units V = volts, Ω = ohms, A = amperes.)

V = IR

12 V = I * 3 Ω

12/3 = I

<u>I = 4 A</u>
