Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

Momentum = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

How much energy is needed to generate 0.71 x 10-16 kg of mass?

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6.39 J of energy is needed to generate 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg mass

Explanation:

According to the Equation: E = mc²

where the mass, m = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg

the speed of light, c = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

The amount of energy needed to generate a mass of 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg is calculated as follows:

E = (0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶) (3 * 10⁸)²

E = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ * 9 * 10¹⁶

E = 0.71 * 9

E = 6.39 J

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.

You are traveling 70 mph (31.3 m/s) and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting another car. How far do you travel if it takes you 8

Arlecino [84]

You traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

Given the following data:

Initial velocity, U = 31.3 m/s

Time, t = 8.5 seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the distance traveled, we would use the second equation of motion:

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Where:

S is the distance travelled.

u is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

$S = 31.3(8.5) + \frac{x}{y} (9.8)(8.5^2)\\\\S = 266.05 + 4.9(72.25)\\\\S = 266.05 + 354.025$

Distance, S = 620.075 meters.

Therefore, you traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

Two remote control cars with masses of 1.16 kilograms and 1.98 kilograms travel toward each other at speeds of 8.64 meters per s

Black_prince [1.1K]

The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,

$p_i=m_1u_1+m_{2_{}}u_2$

The final momentum of the system can be given as,

$p_f=m_1v_1+m_{2_{}}v_2$

According to conservation of momentum,

$p_i=p_f$

Plug in the known expressions,

$\begin{gathered} m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2 \\ m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1 \\ v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2} \end{gathered}$

Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.

Plug in the known values,

$\begin{gathered} v_2=\frac{(1.16\text{ kg)(8.64 m/s)+(1.98 kg)(-3.34 m/s)-(1.16 kg)(-2.16 m/s)}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{10.02\text{ kgm/s-}6.61\text{ kgm/s+}2.51\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{5.92\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ \approx2.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.
