Suppose you have thrown a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree,and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coc

onut on the way down.Neglecting air resistance,how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it hits the coconut on the way up?Is is more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.

Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock

What is the impulse of a 2 kg object that starts at 10 m/s and comes to a stop over 0.4 seconds?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Impulse = 20 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of force and time

Also impulse = momentum

Where momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Given that

M = 2kg

V = 10 m/s

Impulse = MV = 2 × 10 = 20 Ns

A car travels 15 kilometers west in 10 minutes. After reaching the destination, the car travels back to the starting point, agai
jeka94

Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
 
Strange as it may seem, 'velocity' is completely different. 

Velocity doesn't involve the total distance traveled at all. 
Instead, 'velocity' is based on 'displacement' ... the distance
between the start-point and end-point, regardless of the route
taken to get there.  So the displacement in driving once around
any closed path is zero, because you end up where you started. 

Velocity =

           (displacement during some time)
divided by
            (time for the displacement)

AND the direction from the start-point to the end-point.


For the guy who drove 15 km to his destination in 10 min, and then
back to his starting point in 5 min, (assuming he returned by way of
the same 15-km route):

         Speed = (15km + 15km) / (10min + 5min)  =  (30/15) (km/min)

                                                                                 =  2 km/min.

        Velocity = (end location - start position) / (15 min)  =  Zero .

A lead bar 12 cm long, 2 cm wide, and 2 cm talk has a density of 11.3g/cm3. If you cut the bar in half, what is the density of o
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The density of one halves  11.3 g / cm cube

Explanation:

Density remain same because cutting the bar in half , mass and volume will decrease to half so density will not change .

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Which of the following describe circumstances under which an exculpatory clause is generally unenforceable? Select all that appl
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

a. When the parties have unequal bargaining power  

c. When it covers public transportation  

Explanation:

Exculpatory clauses are often found in agreements between a company and a consumer when the activity is in danger, such as at a fitness center or ski resort. The company wants the consumer to understand the risk involved and to avoid lawsuits, so it includes a disclaimer in its contract. These clauses are used to limit liability, so they are not enforced when the parties have unequal bargaining power and when covering public transport.
