Answer:

A. Equal to and Opposite

Explanation:

           when there is no External force acting on the system of bodies then Net momentum of the system is Conserved .

        Given that there are 2 bodies

         Let  P₁ as first object's momentum

                  P₂ as second object's momentum.

                  Total Momentum =P₁ + P₂

           As there is no external force acying on the system

                 Change in the Total momentum is zero

so,

                  0 = Δ P₁ + ΔP₂

                   ΔP₂ = -ΔP₁

                   negative sign indicates opposite direction.

                       Both are of equal magnitude.

At what temperature is the average kinetic energy of an atom in helium gas equal to 6.21 x 10-21 j?
NARA [144]

The average kinetic energy of an atom in helium gas at temperature T is given by,

K.E=\frac{3}{2}KT

here, K is botzmann constant =1.38×10⁻²³ m² kg s⁻² K⁻¹

Given, K.E= 6.21×10⁻²¹ J

Substituting the values,

6.21*10^{-21}=\frac{3}{2}1.38*10^{-23}T

T= 300 K

Therefore, at temperature 300 K the average kinetic energy of the atom in helium gas is 6.21×10⁻²¹ J.

1. Describe the differences in the ways the sand castle is changed by an ocean wave and by Dylan stomping on it
Snezhnost [94]

A sand castle that was changed by the ocean waves would be slowly taken away from by the waves and would just become a smooth mound of sand. If Dylan stomped on it then it would still have all of the same sand as before but in a different shape. It would also become a mound of sand but it would have all the same sand as before.


(I don't know if I was supposed to talk about fancy physics stuff so I just gave a basic explanation. I don't know if my answer is really right or not... hope it helped though :))

You are making raised beds for a productive vegetable garden and have 4 boxes that are 1m x 2m x 1m deep. What volume of dirt (i
Nady [450]

Answer:

8 m³

282.3 ft³

Explanation:

The volume of each box is width times length times depth:

V = (1 m) (2 m) (1 m)

V = 2 m³

There are four boxes, so the total volume is:

4V = 8 m³

Converting to cubic feet:

8 m³ × (3.28 ft / m)³

= 282.3 ft³
