Answer:

Tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above,

(1) tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

Mometum = mass×velocity

Momentum = 270×0.5

Momentum = 135 kgm/s

(2) hare with a mass of 2.7 kg moving at a velocity of 7 m/s

Mementum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 2.7×7

Momentum = 18.9 kgm/s

(3) turtle with a mass of 91 kg moving at a velocity of 1.4 m/s

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 91×1.4

Momentum = 127.4 kgm/s

(4) roadrunner with a mass of 1.8 kg moving at a velocity of 6.7 m/s

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 1.8×6.7

Momentum = 12.06 kgm/s

From the above, the one with the greatest momentum is tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut

$v_2$ = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s$

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s$

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

Explain how atomic mass and molecular mass are determined

GaryK [48]

Molecular mass may be calculated by taking the atomic mass of each element present and multiplying it by the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula. Then, the number of atoms of each element is added together. This value may be reported as a decimal number or as 16.043 Da or 16.043 amu.
