If a projectile hits a stationary target, and the projectile continues to travel in the same direction, the mass of the projecti

le is less than the mass of the target. the mass of the projectile is equal to the mass of the target. the mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target. nothing can be said about the masses of the projectile and target without further information. this is an unphysical situation and will not actually happen.

The correct arrangement of the question is;

If a projectile hits a stationary target, and the projectile continues to travel in the same direction,

A) the mass of the projectile is less than the mass of the target.

B) the mass of the projectile is equal to the mass of the target.

C) the mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target.

D) nothing can be said about the masses of the projectile and target without further information.

E) this is an unphysical situation and will not actually happen.

Answer:

Option C: The mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target.

Explanation:

We want to find what will happen when a projectile continues in motion after it hits a target.

Now, for the projectile to keep moving in that direction after it hits the target, it means it had a force bigger than the force of the target to overpower it and force it to move with it.

Now, from law of inertia, Force = ma.

But in this case acceleration is 0 because the speed of the projectile is constant.

Thus, the force depends on the mass. So for a higher force, the mass of the projectile has to be more than that of the stationary object.

Thus, option C is correct

Gauss's Law states that the net electric flux, , through any closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed: . The analog
Natali [406]

The analogous formula for magnetic fields is the Ampere's law.

To find the answer, we need to know about the Ampere's law of magnetism.

<h3>What's Ampere's law of magnetism?</h3>

Ampere's law states that the close line integral of magnetic field around a current carrying loop is directly proportional to the current enclosed within it.

<h3>What's is the mathematical expression of Ampere's law?</h3>

Mathematically, Ampere's law is

B•dl= μ₀I

Thus, we can conclude that the analogous formula for gauss law is the Ampere's law in magnetism.

What are the units of radiation?
Ksenya-84 [330]

The radiation dose absorbed by a person is measured using the conventional unit rad or the SI unit gray. The biological risk of exposure to radiation is measured using the conventional unit rem or the SI unit sievert.

I hope this helps!
