Lady bird [3.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:  Air resistance is insignificant for heavy objects precisely because it doesn't depend on the mass. This is because a force is just an interaction that tries to change the momentum of an object, and the momentum depends on the mass; the larger the mass, the larger the momentum, and the more force you need to change it.

A frog jumps for 4.0 seconds at a maximum horizontal distance of 0.8m. what is its velocity along the road?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The frog's horizontal velocity is 0.2 m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must first remember what velocity is and how we solve for it.  Velocity can be solved for using the formula x/t, where x represents horizontal distance and t represents time (in seconds), that it takes to travel this distance.  If we plug in the given numbers for these variables and solve, we get the following:

v = x/t

v = 0.8m/4s

v = 0.2 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2 m/s.  We can verify that these units are correct because the formula calls for distance divided by time, so meters per second is a sensible answer.

Hope this helps!

How would you define physics class in your own words ?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

honestly i dont like physics class but for you im gonna write somethin' good but for me tho its B O R I N G

Explanation:

<em>Physics is the branch of science that deals with the structure of matter and how the fundamental constituents of the universe interact. It studies objects ranging from the very small using quantum mechanics to the entire universe using general relativity.</em>

A(n) 0.5 kg soccer ball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 10.6 m/s. The player illegally strikes the ball with he
Llana [10]

Answer: - 25.2 kgm/s

Explanation: The mass of the ball is 0.5kg, and the initial velocity = 10.6m/s.

The final velocity is in opposite direction of the initial hence final velocity (v) = - 19.9 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.

Final momentum = mass × final velocity

Final momentum = - 19.9 × 0.5

Final momentum = - 9.95 kgm/s

Initial momentum = mass × initial velocity

Initial momentum = 0.5 × 10.6 = 5.3kgm/s

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = - 19.9 - 5.3

Change in momentum = - 25.2 kgm/s

The negative sign implies that the change in momentum is the opposite direction relative to the first.

An atom of potassium has an atomic mass of 39 amu and an atomic number of 19. It therefore has ______ neutrons in its nucleus.
FromTheMoon [43]
A=atomic mass 
Z=atomic number  (nº of protons).
N=neutons.

A=Z+N

Data:
A=39
Z=19

A=Z+N
39=19+N
N=39-19=20.

It therefore has 20 neutrons in its nucleus.

agasfer [191]
A synthesis reaction occurs when a molecule is formed from the bonding of atoms, ions or simpler molecules. A single product is created from multiple reactants. These reactions are exothermic since they release energy in the form of light and heat.
