Which of the following has the most momentum? proton (m=1.67 x 10-27 kg) moving at 2.0 x 104 m/s,an electron (m=9.11 x 10-31 kg)

moving at 2.0 x 106 m/s, a common house fly (m=12 mg) moving at 2.0 m/s, North American tectonic plate (m≈5x1022 kg) moving at 3.0x10-10 m/s (about 1cm/yr)

Answer:

The North American tectonic plate.

Explanation:

recall the formula for momentum: p = m * v

the subatomic particles have very small masses while high speeds, so the product results in values with negative exponents in scientific notation.

Negative exponents also result for the house fly when converting mg into kg (10^-6).

The positive exponents in scientific notation for the momentum come for the gigantic mass of the continental plate which exceeds the negative exponents contributed by the small velocity.

From the concepts you have learned in this module, how are you going to assess
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients​: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.

If the back of the truck is 1.3 m above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 22 ∘ , how much time do the workers have to get t
solong [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that
(a) The piano rolls down on frictionless wheels,
(b) Wind resistance is negligible.

The distance along the ramp is
d = (1.3 m)/sin(22°) = 3.4703 m

The component of the piano's weight along the ramp is
mg sin(22°)
If the acceleration down the ramp is a, then
ma = mg sin(22°)
a = g sin(22°) = (9.8 m/s²) sin(22°) = 3.671 m/s²

The time, t, to travel down the ramp from rest is given by
(3.4703 m) = 0.5*(3.671 m/s²)*(t s)²
t² = 3.4703/1.8355 = 1.8907
t = 1.375 s

Answer: 1.375 s

I can't make sense of this question. Julie's throwing the ball, so it's leaving her rather than arriving at her ???
