If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br

eak. why? 1. the sheet is much slicker than the wall. 2. the breaking egg causes a larger impact time, decreasing the force. 3. the impact time when the egg strikes a sagging sheet is long, so the impact force is small. 4. the velocity of the egg decreases faster in the sheet than on the wall.

<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If
cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

a force vector f has a magnitude of 12.0 n. it is oriented 60° to the left of the y ax what are its x and y components?
Arte-miy333 [17]

The  force vector that has a magnitude of 12.0 N. and is oriented 60° to the left of the (y) has the followings components:

  • v(x) =6 N
  • v(y) = 10.39 N

To solve this exercise the formulas and procedures we will use are:

  • v(x) = v * cosine (angle)
  • v(y) = v * sine (angle).

Where:

  • v= magnitude of the vector
  • v(x) = component of the vector on the (x) axis
  • v(y) = component of the vector on the (y) axis
  • angle = angle

Information about the problem:

  • angle = 60º
  • v = 12.0 N
  • v(x)= ?
  • v(y)= ?

Applying the formula of the component of the vector in the (x) axis we have:

v(x) = v * cosine (angle).

v(x) = 12.0 N * cosine (60º)

v(x) =6 N

Applying the formula of the component of the vector in the (y) axis we have:

v(y) = v * sine (angle)

v(y) = 12.0 N * sine (60º)

v(y) = 10.39 N

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

It can be said to be a straight line described by a point (a) and (b) that has direction and sense.

Which of the following provides evidence that geologic activity occurred in the past on Earth's Moon?
Bingel [31]

Answer: d) the presence of solidified lava flows on the Moon

Explanation:

A geological activity means an occurrence of event such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, sedimentation, erosion etc. The revolution of the Moon around the Earth , the axial tilt of the Moon  or the phases of the Moon are not surface features. hence, these events cannot provide the evidence of geological activity in the past of Moon.

The surface features of moon such as Mares, Craters, mountains, Rays and rills are the proof of some geological activity on the Moon. Mares are the dark patches on the moon's surface formed of solidified lava. Due to negligible atmosphere on the moon, the meteors strike its surface and cause craters to form. Thus, the correct answer is d.

The mass needed at peg 1 is a 5g mass.

The 15g should hang at peg 5.

The reason is force x distance clockwise is equal to force x distance anti-clockwise
