In a car collision, is it better for the passenger if the change in momentum is over a short period of time or a long period of

time?

Explanation:

The force on the passenger will be F = ma

Here, m does not change, but a is the variable.

If the cars slows down very fast, the acceleration will be higher, and thus the force will be higher.

If the acceleration is lower, the force will be lower as well, which would be the most desirable scenario for the passenger.

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?
serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

What are 4 ways you can determine if a website is reliable?
user100 [1]

Answer:

Identify the name of the individual, group or institution that created the website. A reliable website should clearly state the name of its creator. Generally, websites created by government institutions (.gov) and educational institutions (.edu) are considered more reliable.

A ball is dropped from the rest from a high window of a tall building and called for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the f
diamong [38]

Answer:

-39.2m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

t = 4secs

g = -9.8m/s^2

v = ?

u = 0m/s ( since it was at rest )

V = u +at............. 1

Where v is the final velocity

a = -g = -9.8m/s^2 since the ball was dropped from a height which will eventually make it move against gravity

t = 4secs

Substitute the values into 1

v = 0 - 9.8×4

v = -39.2m/s

Which of the following are found within the electromagnetic spectrum? Check all that apply. sound waves visible light X rays ult
sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s, known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).

A helium balloon ride lifts up passengers in a basket. Assume the density of air is 1.28 kg/m3 and the density of helium in the
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

V = 381.70 m³

Explanation:

ρ air = 1.28 kg / m³

ρ helium = 0.18 kg / m³

R = 4.5 m

Vb = 0.068 m³

mb = 123 kg

To determine the volume of helium in the balloon when fully inflated

V = 4 / 3 π * R ³

V = 4 * π / 3 ( 4.5 m )³

V = 381.70 m³

To determine the mass total

m = ρ helium * V

m = 0.18 kg / m³  * 381.70  m³

m = 68.70 kg

mt = ( 68.70 + 123 )kg

mt = 191.70 kg
