Answer:

a) 126 kgm/s

b) 0 kgm/s

c) 3.9 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of momentum.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v, where

m1 = mass of the shopping cart, 21 kg

m2 = mass of the box, 11 kg

v1 = initial velocity of the shopping cart, 6 m/s

v2 = initial velocity of the box, 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the box+cart

a)

Momentum of the shopping cart before collision = P

P = mv

P = 21 * 6

P = 126 kgm/s = c

b)

Momentum of the box before collision

Like in question a above, the momentum of the box is P

P = mv

P = 11 * 0

P = 0 kgm/s = b

c)

Velocity of the combined shopping cart wreckage after collision is

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v

(21 * 6) + (11 * 0) = (21 + 11)v

126 + 0 = 32v

32v = 126

v = 126/32

v = 3.9375 m/s, on approximating to 1 decimal place, we have 3.9 m/s and option b as the answer.

Sounds travels in a ____ wave A. Transverse B. Compressional C. Surface D. Inverted
MissTica

Answer: A. Transverse

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical transverse wave, it travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium.  

 

In addition, the speed of sound varies with changes in the temperature of the medium. This is because an increase in temperature means that the frequency of interactions between the particles that transport the vibration increases, hence this increase in activity increases the speed.

Hence:

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! More science questions coming soon!!
Naily [24]

Answer:

1.) A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) C

Both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) A, B and C

Explanation:

1.) SO2 + ___ H2 ----------> _____ S + _______H2O

Looking at above equation, we have one molecule of surfur at the right hand side (RHS), and one molecule of surfur at the left hand side (LHS).

Two atoms of hydrogen and both RHS and LHS

But oxygen is not balanced. We have two atoms of oxygen at the RHS while having one at the LHS.

So let's make oxygen 2 atoms at LHS by adding 2 to water molecules and hydrogen molecules at the RHS.

SO2 + ___ 2H2 ----------> _____ S + _______2H2O

The correct answer is A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both magnetic force and gravitational force obey inverse square law with distance. They are not directly proportional but inversely proportional to the square distance. B is the correct answer because Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) Light waves are transverse waves which can travel through a vacuum without a medium while sound waves are longitudinal waves which cannot travel through vacuum without a medium. But both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) If an object is slowing down, due to conservation of energy,

The potential energy could be increasing, like a ball thrown into the air.

The kinetic energy could be lost to friction or air resistance.

The ball could be returning to its natural resting state.

What will be the pressure exerterd by the 0bject if 4000n is acting on an area of 50msqure
Ivahew [28]
<h3>Given, </h3>

Force,F = 4000 N

Area,a = 50 m²

<h3>We know that, </h3>

Pressure = Force/Area

★ Putting the values in the above formula,we get:

\sf \rightarrow \: pressure =  \dfrac{4000}{50}

\sf \rightarrow pressure = 80 \: N {m}^{ - 2}
