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

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn, causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

A 26.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.40 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 45.0 ∘ f

Sloan [31]

A)Ep'=mgh=mgl(1-cosa).At the bottom of the swing Ep=0(reference level),so the potential energy as the child is just released is bigger than the potential energy at the bottom of the swing.;B)The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing-->v=√(2gh)=√[2gl(1-cosa)];C)I don't think that the tension does any work.

A pail in a water well is hoisted by means of a frictionless winch, which consists of a spool and a hand crank. When Jill turns

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

166 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

$\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}$

The work done by Jill is the product of the weight of the pail and the height it moves.

The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration of gravity, g. Taking g as 9.81 m/s², the weight is

W = (6.90 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 67.689 N

Work done = (67.689 N)(27.0 m) = 1827.603 J

Power = (1827.603 J) ÷ (11.0 s) = 166 W

The nuclear equation is incomplete. What particle completes the equation?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

$_{6}^{12} C$

Explanation:

$_{1}^{1}H+_{7}^{15}N ---> _{6}^{12} C+ _{2}^{4}He$

1+7 = 6+2 =8 -protons

1+15 = 12+4 = 16 - protons +neutrons

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of

wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0 N/C

For right = 0 N/C

At middle = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б = $6.8 * 10^{-22}$ C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

$E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }$

1) To the left of the plate

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $(\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $-\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} } \vec{i}$ = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C
