traveling at the same initial speed impacts a line of water barrels and comes to rest in 2.3s. During which test was the change in the momentum of the car the greatest?
a. It is the same for both cars.
b. The car that hits the concrete barrier.
c. The car that hits the water barrels

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Change is momentum can be described as the change in the product of mass and velocity of a body. Every moving object as a momentum and the higher the momentum of this object, the harder it is to stop. Impulse (a force), which is sometimes used to describe change in momentum can be described as the product as force multiplied by time.

From the description above, it can be deduced that an increase in impulse can lead to a greater change in momentum. And an increase in impulse can be brought about by an increase in the time it takes a body to be brought to rest after collision. And since the car that hit the water barrels was brought to rest at a longer time, it has a greater change in momentum

A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime
Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.
