Where do you weigh more: at the bottom of death valley or atop one of the peaks of the sierra nevada? why?

1 answer:

3 0

It won't make much of a difference, but since gravity is dependant of the distance between the 2 masses, the closer you are the more force. So in the bottom of a valley you will weight a little less.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?

oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

A perfectly elastic collision occurs between a 15.0-kg mass traveling at 3.50 m/s and a 9.00-kg mass traveling at 2.35 m/s. if t

BaLLatris [955]

Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.

15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s

73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x

solve for x
x= 3.23

The final velocity is 3.23 m/s

Please help!How is constant or uniform acceleration used to explain free fall?

garik1379 [7]

Free fall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration, because acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward.
