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).

Answer: Yes, the answer is D.

Explanation: Sound waves are transverse waves, which are the fastest type of wave and can travel (almost) any medium with the exception of a few natural elements.

A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 2.27 x 107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 3.99 x 1011 m. With respect to th

luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular orbit, $r=3.99\times 10^{11}\ m$

Time taken, $t=2.27\times 10^{7}\ m$

(a) Angular speed of the planet is given by :

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{t}$

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{2.27\times 10^{7}\ m}$

$\omega=2.76\times 10^{-7}\ rad/s$

(b) The tangential speed of the planet is given by :

$v=r\times \omega$

$v=3.99\times 10^{11}\times 2.76\times 10^{-7}$

v = 110124 m/s

(c) The centripetal acceleration of the planet,

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(110124)^2}{3.99\times 10^{11}}$

$a=0.0303\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

When recording video footage, the camera needs to move horizontally along side a building. what type of movement is this?

dmitriy555 [2]

The answer that fits in the blank is truck.

Inded, truck or trucking is moving the camera from one side to the other side to make the objects to appear closer or farther away.

There are some basic movements of the camera to record video footage: zoom, pan, tilt, dolly, truck, pedestal and rack focus.
