Answer:

The ball has no momentum

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ball = 5 kg

The velocity of the ball = 0 (The ball is sitting on the floor without moving)

The momentum of the ball = The mass of the ball × Velocity of the ball

Therefore, the momentum of the ball = 5 kg × 0 m/s = 0

The momentum of the ball is zero, the ball has no momentum.

What is the significance of a standard system of measurement?

dimulka [17.4K]

Because scientists all over the world are working together, looking for answers to the same questions, just as much as if they all worked in the same physical laboratory in the same building. They need a way to share data and experimental results in a form that everyone can understand. ( D )

Let's say I perform an experiment and get very exciting results. I'm a good scientist, so the next thing I want to do is to publish a complete description of how I did my experiment, and include all of my results. That way, scientists around the world can read about what I did, they can find any mistakes that I made, and they can even repeat my experiment for themselves and see if they get the same results.

Now let's say that my results looked like this:

Result #1).

The reaction stabilized when it reached the rate of 1.26 briligs per tove.

Result #2).

After running at that constant rate for 35 toves, a pile of product was produced whose mass was exactly 61.284 wibbles.

Result #3).

When the pile of product was allowed to settle for another 20 toves, it had spread out, and covered an area of 14.907 square filks.

Do YOU understand my results ?

All those other scientists would have a tough time trying to decide whether my results made sense. And if they repeated my experiment, they would have no way to tell whether their results matched mine or not.

Without a standard system of measurement, and units that mean the same thing to everybody, us scientists literally could not communicate.

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum

Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W; we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.

A stone is dropped from a cliff. What will be its speed when it was fallen 100 m?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

final velocity will be44.72m/s

Explanation:

HEIGHT=h=100m

vi=0m/s

vf=?

g=10m/s²

by using third equation of motion for bodies under gravity

2gh=(vf)²-(vi)²

evaluating the formula

2(10m/s²)(100m)=vf²-(0m/s)²

2000m²/s²=vf²

√2000m²/s²=√vf²

44.72m/s=vf

What’s the formula for work

padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is force times distance. If you push on an object really hard but it does not budge, you have still performed no work on it, because anything times zero is still zero.
