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

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated

vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

Several large firecrackers are inserted into the holes of a bowling ball, and the 6.3 kg ball is then launched into the air with

Anni [7]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 6.3 kg

speed of the ball = 10.4 m/s

angle made with horizontal = 43°

m_a = 1.8 kg v_a = 2.2 m/s

m_b = 1.6 kg v_b = 1.8 m/s

mass of third particle = 6.3 - 1.8 - 1.6

= 2.9 kg

u cos θ = 10.4 x cos 43° = 7.61 m/s

by using conservation momentum along x-axis

6.3 x 7.61 = 1.8 × (-2.2) + 0 + 1.6 × V₃ₓ

V₃ₓ = 32.44 m/s (toward right)

by using conservation momentum along y-axis

0 = 0 + 1.6 x 1.8 + 1.6 × V₃y

V₃y = -1.8 m/s (indicate downward)

velocity of the third particle

$v = \sqrt{32.44^2 + (-1.8)^2}$

v = 32.49 m/s

$tan \theta = \dfrac{-1.8}{32.44}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{-1.8}{32.44})$

θ = 3.176° (downward with horizontal)
