Answer:

A) The smaller object; B) The larger object

Explanation:

A) Lets say the small object is 2 kg and the large one is 6 kg. Lets say they also have 30 kg*m/s of momentum each. The small object would have 15 m/s velocity and the large would have 5 m/s.

Now for kinetic energy(.5*m*v²), the small object is .5*2*15², which is 225 J

The large object is .5*6*5², which is 75 J, so the smaller object has more Kinetic energy. Since velocity is squared, it is more important than how large mass is.

B) Same masses as part A. Lets say the kinetic energy is 45 J for both of them. For the small object, 45=.5*2*v²

.5*2 is 1, so 45/1 is 45. Take the square root and we get v= 6.71 m/s

For the large object, 45=.5*6*v²

.5*6 is 3, so 45/3 is 15. Take the square root and we get v=3.87 m/s

Now we plug the velocities into p=mv

For the small object, p=2*6.71, which gives us p=13.42 kg*m/s

For the large object, p=6*3.87, which gives us p=23.22 kg*m/s

The larger object has the larger momentum.

Hope this helps

A sample of a gas in a rigid container has an initial pressure of 5 atm at a temperature of 254.5 k. The temperature is decrease
skelet666 [1.2K]

The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm

So, the new pressure is 2 atm.

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

Answer:

X-rays go all the way through the body, but ultraviolet rays do not.

Explanation:

An x-ray will show inside the body, but uv light isn't strong enough to go all the way through the body.
