Max (15 kg) and Maya (12 kg) are ice-skating on a frozen pond. While standing at the center of the pond, Maya throws a 1.5-kg sn

owball at Max and, as a result, recoils away from Max at 2.5 m/s. With what speed did Maya throw the snowball at Max

Answer: The speed at which Maya threw the snowball at Max is 20m/s

Explanation:

Given that

​Mass of snowball=   1.5-kg.

Mass of Maya= 12kg

Initial  speed of Maya=2.5m/s

We use the law of conservation of  momentum to calculate the  speed of the snowball which depends on its own mass,  the mass of Maya who threw the snowball and the initial velocity at which the snowball was thrown by Maya

Ms x Us = Mm x Um

Mass of snowball  x Initial speed of Snow ball =Mass of Maya x Initial  speed of Maya

1.5kg  x Initial speed of Snow ball =12 kg x 2.5m/s

Initial speed of Snow ball=( 12 kg x 2.5m/s) /1.5kg

​ Initial speed of Snow ball  =20m/s

Which of the following would illustrate a quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables when graphed?
Kitty [74]

Answer: option A. a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r (A = πr²).



Explanation:



A quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables shows the independent variable raised to the power of 2.



This is it is a polynomial with general form ax² + bx + c, whewre a, b, and c, named coeficients,  are constants.



The function is y =  ax² + bx + c, where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.



As stated in the question, the area of a circle is given by A = πr².



In this case, A is the dependent variable and r is the independent variable.



π is assumed as the coefficient of the quadratic term, and the other coefficients are assumed 0, since there are no either terms on r or constants.



The equation a = 1/b  is an inverse relation, not a quadratic relation.



The relation of distance vs. time for a car moving at constant speed is a linear relation of the kind v = u + st.



The mass of water vs. the volume of water in a drinking glass is a direct relation, mass = density × volume



Therefore, the only quadratic relation is shown by  a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r.

Explain why the gravitational acceleration of any object near earth is the same matter what was the mass of the object
Gre4nikov [31]
It takes greater force to accelerate an object that has more mass. But the gravitational force between the Earth and an object is greater when the object hass more mass. It works out just right to make any object with any mass accelerate at the same rate.

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.
