40 000 kg.m/s...P=MV then 20 000=M2V therefore Pnew=2MV i.e Pnew= 2Pold ...Pnew=2Pold...Pnew=2(20 000)...Pnew=40 000

Answer: Hi! The definition of momentum is the "quantity of motion that an objet has", it means the product of the mass and velocity, so P = mv.

If the initial momentum is P₁ = m*v =20000 kg*m/s If we double the velocity, then P₂= m*2*v = 2*20000 kg*m/s = 40000 kg*m/s.

So if you multiply the velocity (or the mass) by any number, then you need to multiply the momentum by the same number.

Which of the following could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper? A) ultraviolet radiation B) microwa

Ivahew [28]

Gamma radiation could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper.

Answer: Option E

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that radioactive radiations have greater ionizing powers compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Among the radioactive radiations, gamma rays are the most ionizing radiation.

So they are widely used in sterilizing process. As the penetration power of gamma is more compared to alpha and beta, in order to kill microorganisms gamma radiations are used.

When plastic petri plates wrapped with plastic are bombarded or sterilizing with gamma rays, the rays will ionise the micro-organism. Thus mutilating their DNA and preventing their reproduction.

A small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely r

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.
