Definition formula for momentum: P = mv
So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s
P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s
P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s
B has the greatest momentum
The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has
1/2 (mass) (speed squared)
of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So
1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)
is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.
Answer:
b Day-to-day condition of the atmosphere
Explanation:
Weather is short term, Climate is long term
The force pushing down is the force of Gravity. On a chair it is in perfect balance with the force pushing up (the normal force)
in terms of magnitude
FN = FG = mg
the forces are in opposite direction
hope this helps
