C. The magnitudes of the change of velocity are equal for car and bug.
D. The magnitude of change of momentum of the car is bigger that that of the bug.
E. The magnitude of change of momentum of the bug is bigger than that of the car.
F. The system consists of the car alone.
G. The magnitude of change of velocity of the car is bigger than that of the bug.
H. The magnitudes of the change of momentum are equal for car and bug.

Answer:

A. False

B True

C. False

D.False

E. True

F. False

G. False

H. False

I. True

Explanation:

A. False: The system being analyzed consists of the bug and the car.  These are the two bodies involved in the collision.

B. True: The system being analyzed consists of the bug and the car

C. False: The magnitudes of the change in velocity are different from the car and the bug. The velocity of the bug changes from 0 to the velocity of the car, while there is no noticeable change in the velocity of the car

D.False: There is barely any change in the momentum of the car since the mass of the bug is very small.

E. True: Since the mass of the bug is small, and was initially at rest, the magnitude of the change in monentum will be large because the new velocity will be that of the car.

F. False: The system being analyzed consists of the bug and the car. Those are the two bodies involved in the collision

G. False: The car barely changes in velocity since the mass of the bug is small.

H. False: The car barely changes in momentum because the collision does not affect its speed so much. on the other hand the momentum change of the bug is large since its mass is small.

I. True: The bug which was initially at rest will begin moving with the velovity of the speeding car, while the car barely changes in its velocity

A researcher is using a particle accelerator in an experiment studying isotopes. How can the researcher change one isotope into
Illusion [34]
The researcher can change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element by ADDING OR REMOVING NEUTRONS.
Isotopes refers to two or more forms  of the same element, which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The difference in the number of neutrons of a particular element is what brings about isotopes, thus, isotopes can be created by removing  or adding neutrons to a particular element.<span />

A fishing boat drags a net for 25 seconds, doing 3500 Joules of work. How much power was the boat using?
Blizzard [7]
The equation for power is P=w/t, where w=work done in joules and t=time in seconds. 

in this case:

p=w/t
p=3500/25 
p=140

so, the boat was using 140 watts of power.

1. What happens in the process of radioactive decay? What is the half-life of a radioactive substance, and how is it used to dat
Ierofanga [76]
<span> In radioactive decay, an unstable atomic nucleus emits particles or radiation and converts to a different atomic nucleus. If the new nucleus is unstable, it will decay again, until eventually, a stable nucleus is formed. Such a sequence of nuclear decays forms a decay series.

The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive isotope to decay. If you have, say, 1 million atoms of a specific isotope in a sample, the time required for 500,000 of those atoms to decay is the half-life of that specific isotope. If you have 50 atoms of that isotope, 25 atoms will decay in the same amount of time.

Because the half-life is fixed for a specific isotope, it can be used to date objects. You compare the decay rate of an old object with the decay rate of a fresh sample. Nuclear decay is a first-order process and can be described by a specific mathematical equation, which depends on the decay rate and the half-life. Knowing those values, you can work back and determine the age of an object, as compared with a standard sample. Old objects will not have as much of a radioactive isotope in them as new objects, since the isotopes will have decayed over time in the old object.</span>

Which planets are composed more of gas than liquids and solids?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Jovian planets

Explanation:

The gas giants, or jovian or extra-terrestrial planets are predominantly made up of gases than liquids and solids.

They are located beyond the fringes of the Asteroid belts which is the zone between the inner and outer planets.

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These planets are made up of gases predominantly hydrogen and helium.

The inner planets called terrestrial planets are solids balls of rocks. These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
