Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of child = 23 kg

Mass of bike = 5.5 kg

Velocity = 4.5 m/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

To find the momentum of each of them;

I. Momentum of the child

Momentum C = mass * velocity

Momentum C = 23 * 4.5

Momentum C = 103.5 Kgm/s

II. Momentum of the bike

Momentum B = mass * velocity

Momentum B = 5.5 * 4.5

Momentum B = 24.75 Kgm/s

Hence, we can deduce from the calculations that the momentum of the child is greater than that of the bike because of the higher mass possessed by the child.

Calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure between the brain and the foot in a person of height 1.93 m. The density
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given: Density of blood = 1.03 × 10³ Kg/m³, Height =  1.93 m g = 9.8 m/s²

pressure at the brain is equal to atmospheric pressure. = Hydro-static

pressure(ρ₀)

∴ pressure of the foot = pressure of the brain(ρ₀) + ( density of blood × acceleration due to gravity × height)(ρgh)

Hydro-static pressure = pressure at the feet- pressure at the brain(ρ₀)

Hydro-static pressure (Δp) = (ρgh + ρ₀) - ρ₀ = ρgh

Hydro-static pressure = 1.03 × 10³ × 9.8 × 1.93 = 1.948 × 10⁴ Pa

∴  Hydro-static pressure ≈ 1.95 × 10⁴ Pa

What is the process that changes smaller atoms into larger ones in a star
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). ... A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.
