The momentum of the truck is given by:

p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.

Explain the difference between cool air and warm air

Naddik [55]

Answer: ok

Explanation:

The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less.

a projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees and lands later at the same level. if it's initial speed is 50 m/s, solve for

Mrrafil [7]

$using \: the \: formula \\ t = \frac{2u \sin( \alpha ) }{g} where \: u = initial \: speed \: \\ \alpha = angle \: of \: projection \\ g = acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity \\ \frac{2 \times 50 \times \sin(30) }{10} \\ \frac{100 \times 0.5}{10} = \frac{50}{10} = 5seconds$

Maximum height
= (Usinα)^2/2g
(50*0.5)^2/20
25^2/20
625/20
=31.25metres
horizontal distance = Range= [U^2 * sin2α]/g
[50^2 * sin60]/10
2500 * 0.8660/10
2165/10=216.5metres

The burner on a stove is 325° f. given that the burner emits electromagnetic radiation as a blackbody, what is the maximum wavel

lesantik [10]

To solve this, we use the Wien's Displacement Law as shown in the attached picture. First, convert the temperature to Kelvin.

C to F:
C = (F - 32)*5/9
C = (325 - 32)*5/9 = 162.78 °C

C to K:
K = C + 273
K = 162.78 + 273 = 435.78 K

λmax = 2898/435.78 = <em>6</em><em>.65 μm</em>
