Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.

Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −9.8 meters per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) With what initial v
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Vi = 94.64 m/s

Explanation:

I order to find out the initial velocity of the object, we can use third equation of motion:

2ah = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

h = maximum height covered by object = 460 m - 3 m = 457 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, object momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)(457 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √8957.2 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 94.64 m/s</u>

Giving quadrilateral a(2,-1 ) b ( 1,3) c(6,5) d(7,1) you want to prove that it is a parallelogram by showing opposite sides are
solong [7]

Answer:

Opposite sides are congruent (AB = DC).

Opposite angels are congruent (D = B).

Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180°).

If one angle is right, then all angles are right.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.
