Answer:

b. they can be observed and measured

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupy space. There are three states of matter namely Solid, liquid and gas.

The properties of matter are both physical and chemical in nature. Both properties can be measured and observed. Phhysical properties are anything that can be measured without changing the state of the matter. Example of physical properties includes mass, volume, length, color etc.

Chemical properties is another properties of matter. This is the ability of the states of matters to combine with other substance to form a new product for example, rusting of iron, formation of salt etc.

All this as discussed are both measurable and can be observed.

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume per unit time flowing will be conserved

a₁v₁ = a₂ v₂

π r₁² x v₁ = π r₂² x v₂

(0.9 x 10⁻²)² x .35 = ( .45 x 10⁻² )² x v₂

v₂ = 1.4 m / s

A 70-kg ice skater is standing still on the ice, when a friend tosses him a 10-kg ball that is traveling at +8 m/s. If he catche

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:+1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice skater M=70 kg

mass of ball m=10 kg

the initial velocity of the ball $u_1=+8\ m/s$

Conserving linear momentum

$M\times0+m\timesu_1=(M+m)v\quad \quad [v=\text{combined velocity of skater and ball}]$

$v=\dfrac{10\times10}{80}=+1.25\ m/s$

Therefore the velocity of the person holding the ball is 1.25 m/s

This collision represents the perfectly inelastic collision where particles stick together after the collision.

Baseball player a bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 2.4 m/s parallel to the gro

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Let $\mathbf r_A$ denote the position vector of the ball hit by player A. Then this vector has components

$\begin{cases}r_{Ax}=\left(2.4\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t\\r_{Ay}=1.2\,\mathrm m-\frac12gt^2\end{cases}$

where $g=9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Use the vertical component $r_{Ay}$ to find the time at which ball A reaches the ground:

$1.2\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12\left(9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2=0\implies t=0.49\,\mathrm s$

The horizontal position of the ball after 0.49 seconds is

$\left(2.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(0.49\,\mathrm s)=12\,\mathrm m$

So player B wants to apply a velocity such that the ball travels a distance of about 12 meters from where it is hit. The position vector $\mathbf r_B$ of the ball hit by player B has

$\begin{cases}r_{Bx}=v_0t\\r_{By}=1.6\,\mathrm m-\frac12gt^2\end{cases}$

Again, we solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the ground:

$1.6\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12\left(9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2=0\implies t=0.57\,\mathrm s$

After this time, we expect a horizontal displacement of 12 meters, so that $v_0$ satisfies

$v_0(0.57\,\mathrm s)=12\,\mathrm m$

$\implies v_0=21\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

5. For the following pairs of masses, which one has the largest gravitational attraction between masses? Which one has the small

sasho [114]

Answer:

MOST : E LEAST : D

Explanation:

Grav attraction = G m1 m1 / r^2

G and 'r' are the same for all of the pictures, so the one picture with the biggest mass has the MOST attraction and the one with the least mass has the least attraction.

M A sinusoidal wave on a string is described by the wave function

IceJOKER [234]

The frequency of the wave is determined as 7.96 Hz.

<h3>Frequency of the wave</h3>

The frequency of the wave is calculated as follows;

y = A sin(ωt - kx)

where;

A is amplitude of the wave
ω is angular speed of the wave

ω = 2πf

f = ω/2π

f = (50)/(2π)

f = 7.96 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is determined as 7.96 Hz.
