3. Two cars, both with a mass of 500 kg, are traveling down a road. The first car has a velocity of 65 m/s east and the second c

ar has a velocity of 85 m/s west. (Chapter 2 – Pages 54-55) a. Calculate the momentum of both cars showing the appropriate equation from your textbook and your work with units in order to receive credit. b. Which car has the larger momentum? Explain how you know.

Answer:

32500 kg m/s east, 42500 kg m/s west. Second car has larger momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

p = mv

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

For the first car, m = 500 kg and v = 65 m/s east, so the momentum is

p_1 = (500)(65)=32500 kg m/s east

For the second car, m = 500 kg and v = 85 m/s west, so the momentum is

p_2 = (500)(85)=42500 kg m/s west

By comparing the two momentum, we see that the second car has larger momentum.

Which scientist determined that the further a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit the sun? ~ I think it might b
lozanna [386]

That was Johannes Kepler. 

He couldn't say why that should happen.  But he was able to show that
if we <em><u>assume</u></em> the the sun is in the center of the solar system, and <em><u>assume</u></em>
that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits, and <em><u>assume</u></em> that
the farther a planet is from the sun the longer it takes to orbit the sun, then
<em>that matches everything that we see the planets actually doing in the sky</em>.

Then Isaac Newton came along, and wrote down a short, simple formula
for the force of gravity.  And then he showed that <u>IF</u> his formula for gravity
is correct, then the planets MUST do everything that we see them actually
doing in the sky, and they MUST behave according to Kepler's laws.

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor have constant charges of +Q and?Q. Do the following quantities increase, decrease, or r
sveticcg [70]

Explanation:

(A) Electric field for the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}

It is clear that the electric field does not depend on the separation of the plates.

(B) The relation between the electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=Ed

d is the separation between plates. So, if the separation of the plates is increased, the potential difference increases.

(C) The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

C=\dfrac{A\epsilon_o}{d}

So, the capacitance decreases when the separation of the plates is increased.

(D) The energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}C(Ed)^2

So, the energy stored in the capacitor  is increased when the separation of the plates is increased.

Help with these please someone
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Five: B

Ten: A

Explanation:

Five

An alpha decay looks like this.

A^x_y====> B^{x-4}_{y - 2}+alpha^4_2

So whatever is produced must have a mass of 4 less than 234 and a number on the periodic table of 2 less than 92. In other words, B has a mass of 230 and a number on the periodic table of 90.

The answer should be Thorium which is B.

Ten

There is actually not enough information to do 10. You get it by making an assumption and seeing if it works.

In general a beta decay can (the most common one ) look like this.

A^x_y====> B^{x}_{y-1}+Beta^0_{-1}

Is there anything that looks like that?

The weight stays the same (234) and the atomic number of the mother element (on the left) is 1 lower than the given chemical on the right.

Th^{234}_{90}====> Pa^{234}_{91}+Beta^0_{-1}

The answer is Thorium A

Beta decays are very tricky. Be very careful how you handle them. One of three items can be what is decayed. I have assumed it was an electron, but there are two other possibilities. I won't confuse you by adding them. Just be aware that they exist.
