Answer:

M = 49.4kgm/s (towards the left)

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object

Momentum = mass * velocity

Momentum of Object 1 with mass 1.66 kg moving to the right at 11.2 m/s, is expressed as:

M1 = 1.66 * 11.2

M1 = 18.592kgm/s

Momentum of Object 2 with mass 6.59 kg moving to the left at 10.4 m/s is expressed as:

M2 = 6.59 * -10.4

M2 = -68.536kgm/s (negative since it is moving towards the left)

The total momentum will be the sum of momentum along the x-component as shown:

M = M1+M2

M = 18.592kgm/s--68.536kgm/s

M = -49.944kgm/s

M = 49.4kgm/s (towards the left)

Adam drops a ball from rest from the top floor of a building at the same time Bob throws a ball horizontally from the same locat
guapka [62]

Answer:

Both balls hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

Adam drops the ball from rest, so the ball just "<em>falls</em>" in vertical direction, being gravity its only acceleration, for cinematic movements we use that:

y(t)=y_{0}+v_{0y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

In this case we have that gravity is negative, and as Adam drops the ball, v_{0y}=0

Bob throws the ball horizontally, so the movement will be a <em>parabola</em>, we can divide into horizontal direction, and vertical direction.

But we only need to analize the vertical movement, in wich again the only acceleration is gravity, and compare it with Adam's ball. Again we have that gravity is negative, and as the initial throw is horizontal, v_{0y}=0

Finally, we have that

y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

where

h=y_{0}

both for Adam's vertical drop, and for Bob's vertical component of the parabolic throw.

Now, if we put y(t)=0 (the origin of the vertical coordinate), we get for both cases that

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

where we can clear the value for the time t, of the fall, wich will be the same in both cases.

Hence, both balls hit the ground at the same time.

A student creates an electromagnet, How could the student create a larger current in the electromagnet?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer

When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This effect can be used to make an electromagnet. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a battery or power supply.

A coil of insulated wire is wrapped around an iron nail. One end of the coil of wire is connected to a battery. The other is connected to a switch in the circuit

A simple electromagnet

You can make an electromagnet stronger by doing these things:

wrapping the coil around a piece of iron (such as an iron nail)

adding more turns to the coil

increasing the current flowing through the coil

There is a limit to how much current can be passed safely through the wire because the resistance of the wire causes heating.

Can light be reflected and refracted at the same time?
Alik [6]
Yes. If you notice when you look at a window you can see through it but sometimes you can see yourself as well, due to refraction and reflection.
