Answer:

D. zero

Explanation:

For momentum of an isolated or closed system to be conserved (initial momentum must equal final momentum), the net external force acting on the system must be zero.

There is always external forces acting on a system, for this system’s momentum to remain constant, all the external forces acting on the system must cancel out, so that the net external force on the system is zero.

F_{ext} = 0

Therefore, the correct option is "D"

D. zero

A small apple weighs 0.8N. How much would an apple that is 4 times as massive weigh?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

W=31.99 N

Explanation:

W= 8 N (N= kg*m/ s^2)

W= m* g

8 N= m * 9.8 m/s^2

m= 0.816 kg

m*4= (0.816)4

= 3.264 kg

W= mg

= (3.264 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

W=31.99 N
