Answer:
more time to change the momentum of falling rocks
Explanation:
Momentum is related to "mass in motion." So, if an object is moving, then it has momentum as it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum is dependent upon how much and how fast the object is moving.
If an object is moving slowly, it means that the object is losing momentum.
Nets used to catch falling boulders on the side of rocky hillside roadways are more effective than rigid fences because their breakage is reduced by more time to change the momentum of falling rocks.
Answer:
Explanation:
This problem is related to vertical motion, and the equation that models it is:
(1)
Where:
is the rock's final height
is the rock's initial height
is the rock's initial velocity
is the angle at which the rock was thrown (directly upwards)
is the time
is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X
Isolating
and taking into account
:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X
Answer: We can calculate it with the radioactive half life equation
Explanation:
If we already know the initial amount of radioactive material and its half life, we can leave that material for a specific known time and then measure how much of the material is left (since it follows the radioactive deacay) and use the results in the following formula:
Where:
is the final amount of the material
is the initial amount of the material
is the time elapsed
is the half life of the radioactive compound
The answer is 5kg m/s with the second momentum being 10 kg m/s. i took the test and it was right. hope this helps yalls
