The US English System of measurement grew out of the manner in which people secured measurements using body parts and familiar objects. For example, shorter ground distances were measured with the human foot and longer distances were measured by paces, with one mile being 1,000 paces. Capacities were measured with household items such as cups, pails (formerly called gallons) and baskets.
I think the answer you're looking for is -are randomly oriented. if not sorry... i tried.
Limiting factors are resources or other factors in the environment that can lower the population growth rate. Competition for resources like food and space cause the growth rate to stop increasing, so the population levels off. This flat upper line on a growth curve is the carrying capacity.
Maybe you can split up the questions. I will try to answer your first question.
1. In an elastic collision, momentum is conserved. The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This is a consequence of Newton's 3rd law. (Action = Reaction)
2. Momentum: p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
m₁ mass of ball A
v₁ velocity of ball A
m₂ mass of ball B
v₂ velocity of ball B
Momentum before the collision:
p = 2*9 + 3*(-6) = 18 - 18 = 0
Momentum after the collision:
p = 2*(-9) + 3*6 = -18 + 18 = 0
3: mv + m(-v) = m(-v) + m(v)
the velocities would reverse.
4.This question is not factual since the energy of an elastic collision must also be conserved. The final velocities should be: v₁ = -1 m/s and v₂ = 5 m/s. That said assuming the given velocities were correct:
before collision
p = 10*3 + 5*(-3) = 30 - 15 = 15
after collision:
p = 10*(-2) + 5 * v₂ = 15
v₂ = 7
5.You figure out.
Answer:
2) zero acceleration
Explanation:
Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.
This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.
Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.
In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.
In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.
