If the mass of a moving object decreases from 100 grams to 25 grams, what happens to its momentum? (2 points)

Since momentum = velocity * mass, when mass decreases 4 times, it's momentum will also decrease 4 times, if velocity remains the same.

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$

Answer the following. (a) What is the surface temperature of Betelgeuse, a red giant star in the constellation of Orion, which r

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) T = 2987.6 k

(b) T = 19986.2 k

Explanation:

The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:

$T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{\lambda_{max}}$

where,

T = Radiated surface temperature

$\lambda_{max}$ = peak wavelength

(a)

here,

$\lambda_{max}$ = 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

$T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{9.7\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}$

<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>

(b)

here,

$\lambda_{max}$ = 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

$T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{1.45\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}$

<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration $a_c$ , so:

$a_c = w^2r$

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

$a_c$ = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

$2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)$

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2 $\pi$ )= 1.976 rpm

Which method determines the relative age of Earth's sedimentary layers based on their organization?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Relative age-dating involves comparing a rock layer or rock structure with other near-by layers or structures. Using the principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships, and structures such as unconformities, one can determine the order of geological events.
