Answer:

C. sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

Fossils are the preserved remains of animal and plant life which are mostly found embedded in sedimentary rocks. Of the sedimentary rocks, most fossils occur in shale, limestone and sandstone. Earth contains three types of rocks which are metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary.

A 85 kg lineman tackles a 90 kg receiver. The receiver is running 5.8 m/s, and the lineman is moving 4.1 m/s, at a right angle t

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of lineman,m=85 kg

Mass of receiver,m'=90 kg

Speed of receiver,v'=5.8 m/s

Speed of lineman,v=4.1 m/s

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

We have to find the their velocity immediately after the tackle.

Initial momentum, $P_i=\sqrt{p^2_1+p^2_2}=\sqrt{(85\times 4.1)^2+(90\times 5.8)^2}=627.6 kgm/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum= $(m+m')V$

$627.6=(85+90)V=175V$

$V=\frac{627.6}{175}=3.59 m/s$

Beings on spherical asteroid have observed that a large rock is approaching their asteroid in a collision course. At 7514 km fro

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

c. $4.582\times10^{21} kg$

Explanation:

$r_{i}$ = Initial distance between asteroid and rock = 7514 km = 7514000 m

$r_{f}$ = Final distance between asteroid and rock = 2823 km = 2823000 m

$v_{i}$ = Initial speed of rock = 136 ms⁻¹

$v_{f}$ = Final speed of rock = 392 ms⁻¹

$m$ = mass of the rock

$M$ = mass of the asteroid

Using conservation of energy

Initial Kinetic energy of rock + Initial gravitational potential energy = Final Kinetic energy of rock + Final gravitational potential energy

$(0.5) m v_{i}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{r_{i}} = (0.5) m v_{f}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{r_{f}} \\(0.5) v_{i}^{2} - \frac{GM}{r_{i}} = (0.5) v_{f}^{2} - \frac{GM}{r_{f}} \\(0.5) (136)^{2} - \frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}) M}{(7514000)} = (0.5) (392)^{2} - \frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}) M}{(2823000)} \\M = 4.582\times10^{21} kg$

What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} = (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s$

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s
