Lucy is cruising through space in her new spaceship. As she coasts along, a spacebug drifts into her path and bounces off the wi

ndow.
Below are several statements concerning this scenario. Evaluate each statement and decide if it is true, false, or undetermined by the principle of momentum conservation.
i) The total change in momentum for this interaction is zero.
ii) The change in the space bug's momentum is greater than the change in the spaceship's momentum.
iii) If the space bug had stuck to the spaceship instead of bouncing off, momentum would not have been conserved for this interaction.

Does the voltage of a battery affect the strength of an electromagnet?
swat32

I'm trying to make an electromagnet that's strength is constantly getting incremented by small amounts every second. I need to know, which would have a greater effect on the electromagnet's strength, amps or volts? (I know increasing the turns and/or density of the magnet wire will increase the strength, but I am looking for answers other than that particular one.)

How much energy is required to accelerate a golf ball of mass 0.046 kg initially at rest to a speed of 0.75c?
Andrew [12]

The required energy to accelerate the golf ball is  0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2.

<h2>What is Energy?</h2>
  • Energy, which is observable in the execution of labor as well as in the form of light and heat, is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to an object or to a physical phenomenon in physics.
  • Energy is a preserved resource; according to the rule of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one form to another and cannot be created or destroyed.
  • The joule, which is defined as "the energy transmitted to an object by the effort of moving it a length of one metre against a force of one newton," is the standard measure for power in the International System of Units (SI).

Given that,

E=mc^2

=0.046X0.75^2Xc^2

=0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2 .

The eiffel tower is a steel structure whose height increases by 19.5 cm when the temperature changes from −8 to +42 °c. what is
Readme [11.4K]
 The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK 
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC 
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK 
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK 
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m 
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

What is the de Broglie wavelength of an object with a mass of 2.50 kg moving at a speed of 2.70 m/s? (Useful constant: h = 6.63×
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

9.82 × 10^{-35} Hz

Explanation:

De Broglie equation is used to determine the wavelength of a particle (e.g electron) in motion. It is given as:

λ = \frac{h}{mv}

where: λ is the required wavelength of the moving electron, h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the particle, v is its speed.

Given that: h = 6.63 ×10^{-34} Js, m = 2.50 kg, v = 2.70 m/s, the wavelength, λ, can be determined as follows;

λ = \frac{h}{mv}

  = \frac{6.63*10^{-34} }{2.5*2.7}

 = \frac{6.63 * 10^{-34} }{6.75}

 = 9.8222 × 10^{-35}

The wavelength of the object is 9.82 × 10^{-35} Hz.

A fly travels along the x-axis. His starting point is x = 16 m and his ending point 15x = - 25 m. His flight lasts 4.0 seconds H
gogolik [260]

Explanation:

Starting position at x  = 16m

Ending position at x  = -25m

Time of flight  = 4s

Unknown:

Distance flown  = ?

Displacement  = ?

Speed  = ?

Velocity  = ?

Solution:

To find the distance flown, we should understand that the body is moving on the x - plane;  

  So distance  = 16 + 25  = 41m

Displacement is 41m to the left or -x axis

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

      Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}   = \frac{41}{4}   = 10.25m/s

Velocity is 10.25m/s along -x axis
