Answer:

0 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum is the product of mass(m) and velocity(v).

Initially the velocity of truck is 0 m/s so the product of mass and velocity becomes 0.

It does not matter what is the weight of truck, because the velocity will make the product of m*v = 0

It does not matter what is the momentum of car.

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}$ gravitational force

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}$ electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

$F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}$

where:

$G=$ gravitational constant $=6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$
