Answer:

A. How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction of its motion

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass by velocity, in the international system of measurements (SI) momentum has the following Units [kg*m/s].

P = m*v

where:

P = momentum Lineal [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Therefore the answer is A) How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction of its motion

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how atoms of elements form molecules, compounds and mixtures.

katrin2010 [14]

An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.

For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.

Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.

A bullet of mass 0.1 kg traveling horizontally at a speed of 100 m/s embeds itself in a block of mass 3 kg that is sitting at re

Xelga [282]

Answer:

(a) the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block is 3.226 m/s

(b) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision is 500J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 0.1 kg

initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 100 m/s

mass of block, m₂ = 3 kg

initial speed of block, u₂ = 0

Part (A)

Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block

(0.1 x 100) + (3 x 0) = v (0.1 + 3)

10 = 3.1v

v = 10/3.1

v = 3.226 m/s

Part (B)

Initial Kinetic energy

Ki = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

Ki = ¹/₂(0.1 x 100²) + ¹/₂(3 x 0²)

Ki = 500 + 0

Ki = 500 J

Part (C)

Final kinetic energy

Kf = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v²

Kf = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(0.1 + 3)

Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(3.1)

Kf = 16.13 J
