Answer: The answer is option A.

Explanation:  Particles of matter are packed more loosely in the ground than in the air. This is true because it doesn't have thig like buildings and people stopping the sound waves.

It is well known that bullets fired at Superman simply bounce off his chest. Suppose that a gangster sprays Superman's chest wit
Zanzabum

Answer:

1.77 N

Explanation:

Mass of bullet m = 1.7 x 10⁻³ kg

velocity v = 380 m /s .

Momentum of one bullet

= 1.7 x 10⁻³ x 380

= 646 x 10⁻³ kg m/s

momentum of 165 bullets

= 165 x 646 x 10⁻³ kg m/s

= 106.59 kg m/s

Final momentum after bouncing

= 0

change in momentum

= 106.59  - 0

= 106.59 kg m/s

This change occurs in one minute

so rate of change in momentum

= 106.59 / 60 kg m/s per second

= 1.77 kg m/s per second

rate of change in momentum = force

This is force on superman's chest

Force required = 1.77 N .

When electric current is flowing in a metal, the electrons are movinga. at nearly the speed of light.b. at the speed of sound in
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Option (d)

Explanation:

The electrons in a conductor moves with the drift velocity when the electric current is flowing through the conductor.

The drift velocity is due to the applied electric field across the conductor.

Which of the following is best described as a synthesis reaction? (2 points) 2HgO → 2Hg + O2 AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3 HCl + N
Shtirlitz [24]

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

Explanation:

The reaction of sodium metal with chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride is a typical example of synthesis reaction.

Combination or synthesis involves the formation of a single product from two or more reactants.

    A + B ⇒ C

  In this kind of chemical reaction, a single product is formed or some compounds by the union of elements is notable.

The driving force for this category of chemical reaction is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0
viktelen [127]

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh

Our initial energy consists of both kinetic and potential energy (relative to the final height of the ball)

E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2)

Our final energy, since we set the zero-line to be at H2, is just kinetic energy.

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

And:
W_A = E_i - E_f

The work done by air resistance is equal to the difference between the initial energy and the final energy of the soccer ball.

Therefore:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2) -  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

Solving for the work done by air resistance:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}(.450)(15.1^2)+ (.450)(9.8)(30.2 - 12) -  \frac{1}{2}(.450)(19.89^2)

W_A = \boxed{42.552 J}
