Answer:

the phenomenon of the system supports the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum says that:

Initial Momentum = Final Momentum

So, first we calculate initial momentum of the system:

Initial Momentum  = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

where,

m₁ = mass of car = 600 kg

m₂ = mass of van = 400 kg

u₁ = Initial Speed of Car

For initial speed of car, we use:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 m/s + (0.2 m/s²)(60 s)

Vf = u₁ = 12 m/s

u₂ = Initial Speed of Van = 0 m/s

Therefore,

Initial Momentum  = (600 kg)(12 m/s) + (400 kg)(0 m/s)

Initial Momentum  = 7200 Ns   --------------- equation (1)

Now, for the final momentum:

Final Momentum  = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where,

v₁ = v₂ = Final Speed of Car and van (both are locked) = 7.2 m/s

Therefore,

Final Momentum = (600 kg)(7.2 m/s) + (400 kg)(7.2 m/s)

Final Momentum = 7200 Ns   ------------- equation (2)

Comparing equation (1) and (2):

Initial momentum = Final Momentum

<u>Hence, the phenomenon of the system supports the principle of conservation of momentum.</u>

A woman pushes a 27 kg lawnmower at a steady speed. She exerts a 120 N force in a direction 35◦ below the horizontal. The accele
nikklg [1K]

The vertical force exerted on the lawn is 68.8 N downward

Explanation:

The vertical force exerted by the lawnmower on the lawn is equal to the vertical component of the force applied, therefore:

F_y = F sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal

In this problem:

F = 120 N

\theta=-35^{\circ}

Substituting,

F_y = (120)(sin 30)=-68.8 N

where the negative sign means the direction of the force is downward.

1. During which phase of the moon may a solar eclipse occur? (Points : 1)
kotykmax [81]
1. New moon
This is because the moon comes between the Earth and sun and this is only possible during its new moon phase.

2. Full moon
This is because the Earth comes between the Moon and the sun and the effect is only visible when there is a full moon.

3. Corona
The corona is the outer layer and is the only one visible when there is an eclipse.
