A student wants to start a small business in school. Write down six items that

A student throws a 130 g snowball at 6.5 m/s at the side of the schoolhouse, where it hits and sticks. What is the magnitude of

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

4.7 N

Explanation:

130 g = 0.13 kg

The momentum of the snowball when it's thrown at the wall is

$p = mv = 0.13*6.5 = 0.845 kgm/s$

Which is also the impulse. From here we can calculate the magnitude of the average force F knowing the duration of the collision is 0.18 s

$p = F\Delta t$

$F*0.18 = 0.845$

$F = 0.845 / 0.18 = 4.7 N$

On a perfect fall day, you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon, accelerated neither upward nor downward. The total

Stella [2.4K]

Explanation:

Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.

Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.

Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume

The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³

the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) = 1700 m³

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C. changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion) creating chain reactions of radiant energy. Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb. Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions. The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

An object is transported to three different planets in our solar system. Which of the following is true about that object?

Digiron [165]

Answer;

D. The object’s weight changes, but its mass stays the same.

Explanation;

Mass is the amount of matter in a object, which is measured in kilograms. Mass of an object is measured using a beam balance. It is important to note that the mass of an object or a body remains constant, and does not vary from one place to another. For instance the mass of a person on the moon will be the same as when the person is on the earth surface.
Weight on the other hand is the measurement of gravitational pull of an object. weight is measured using a spring balance and measured in Newtons. Weight varies from one place to another depending on the gravitational pull of a given surface.

I Explain why you feel cold when tap or well water in winter. state with reason.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

We feel cold when tap or well water in winter because heat flows from hot body to cold body.

Explanation:

Our body is in optimal status is a hot body and tap or well water is a cold body. Therefore we feel cold.
