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

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

The true brightness of an object is called its
g100num [7]
<span>The true brightness of an object is called its luminosity. It is the total amount of energy emitted by bright or meteorological objects over a period of time. It has the SI unit of joules per second or watts. So the answer is letter A. Intensity is the measure of how strong the substance or object is when it projects something. Magnitude is a measure of how great is the size the object produces. Viscosity is the measure of flow of a substance.</span>
