Answer:Twice of given mass

Explanation:

Given

Two Particles of Equal mass placed at the base of an equilateral Triangle

let mass of two equal masses be m and third mass be m'

Taking one of the masses at origin

Therefore co-ordinates of first mass be (0,0)

Co-ordinates of other equal mass is (a,0)

if a is the length of triangle

co-ordinates of final mass (\frac{a}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2})

Given its center of mass is at midway between base and third vertex therefore

x_{cm},y_{cm}=\frac{a}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}

y_{cm}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2+m_3y_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3}

\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}=\frac{m\cdot 0+m\cdot 0+m'\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}}{m+m+m'}

2m+m'=4\times (\frac{m'}{2})

2m+m'=2m'

m'=2m

What type of interaction allows the sidewalk to heat up and cook the egg? 
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Adsorption

Explanation:

Sidewalk cooking of egg is very popular in America. In summer people release fireworks in night sky and cook egg on the concrete sidewalk to check the level of temperature. When sunlight fall on the sidewalk most of the light is reflected back but some darker material adsorbs some photon, and when these photons are transferred to egg molecules it causes vibration among them and produce heat and cook egg.

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.
