Answer: Mercury

Explanation:

It tends to flunctuate in it's temperature because if it closeness to the sun so as it rotates to give a day it gets closer and farther which causes temperature change

A ball has a mass of 1.5kg and is thrown straight up with a speed of 60m/s, what is the ball’s momentum:

madam [21]

Answer:

Assumption: the air resistance on this ball is negligible. Take $g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

a. The momentum of the ball would be approximately $60\;\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ two seconds after it is tossed into the air.

b. The momentum of the ball would be approximately $\rm \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ three seconds after it reaches the highest point (assuming that it didn't hit the ground.) This momentum is smaller than zero because it points downwards.

Explanation:

The momentum $p$ of an object is equal its mass $m$ times its velocity $v$ . That is: $\vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}$ .

Assume that the air resistance on this ball is negligible. If that's the case, then the ball would accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant $g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ . In other words, its velocity would become approximately $10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ more negative every second.

The initial velocity of the ball is $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . After two seconds, its velocity would have become $60\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times \left(-10\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right) = 40\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . The momentum of the ball at that time would be around $p = m \cdot v \approx 60\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

When the ball is at the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball would be zero. However, the ball would continue to accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant $g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ . That's how the ball's velocity becomes negative.

After three more seconds, the velocity of the ball would be $0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 3\; \rm s \times \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right) = -30 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . Accordingly, the ball's momentum at that moment would be $p = m \cdot v \approx \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ .

A wire of radius R has a current I uniformly distributed across its cross-sectional area. Ampere's law is used with a concentric

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The crucial point here is to calculate the enclosed current. If the current I is flowing through the whole cross-sectional area of the wire, the current density is

$J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2}$

The current density is constant for different parts of the wire. This idea is similar to that of the density of a glass of water is equal to the density of a whole bucket of water.

So,

$J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2} = \frac{I_{enc}}{\pi r^2}\\I_{enc} = \frac{Ir^2}{R^2}$

This enclosed current is now to be used in Ampere’s Law.

$\mu_o I_{enc} = \int {B} \, dl$

Here, $\int \, dl$ represents the circular path of radius r. So we can replace the integral with the circumference of the path, $2\pi r$ .

As a result, the magnetic field is

$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{Ir}{R^2}$

Distance versus Displacement Worksheet

Umnica [9.8K]

when we find the distance we will add all the blocks so

distance = 6+6+4

distance = 14blocks

when we find the displacement we will add and minus too

As you can read he goes to the south 6 and to north 6 so he leave that place and back to the place again so the displacement is 0. and again he goes to the west 4 blocks so the displacement = 4blocks to the west

A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the m

Rasek [7]

Answer:

- 3 cm

Explanation:

From the mirror formula;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ; where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

1/-4.5 = 1/9 + 1/v

1/v = -1/4.5 - 1/9

= -1/3

Therefore;

v = -3 cm

Hence;

Image distance is - 3cm

in a longitudinal wave, the motion of the disturbance is in what direction relative to the wave motion?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Longitudinal waves have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel. This means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the motion of the wave.
