Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.

The gravitational force between two objects has a magnitude of F. If both masses were doubled and the distance between them doub
Fofino [41]

Answer:

F' = F

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be given by Newton's Gravitational Law as follows:

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

F = Force of attraction

G = Universal gravitational costant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = distance between objects

Now, if the masses and the distance between them is doubled:

F' = \frac{G(2m_1)(2m_2)}{(2r)^2}\\\\F' = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

<u>F' = F</u>

A bug flying horizontally at 0.65 m/s collides and sticks to the end of a uniform stick hanging vertically. After the impact, th
irina [24]

The angular momentum is defined as,

L=I\omega

Acording to this text we know for conservation of angular momentum that

L_i=L_f

Where L_iis initial momentum

L_f is the final momentum

How there is a difference between the stick mass and the bug mass, we define that

Mass of the bug= m

Mass of the stick=10m

At the point 0 we have that,

L_i=mvl

Where l is the lenght of the stick which is also the perpendicular distance of the bug's velocity

vector from the point of reference (O), and ve is the velocity

At the end with the collition we have

L_f=(I_b+I_s)\omega

Substituting

L_f=(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})\omega

L_f=\frac{13}{10}ml^2w

m(0.65)l=\frac{13}{10}ml^2 \omega

\omega=\frac{1}{2l}

Applying conservative energy equation we have

\frac{1}{2}(I_b+I_s)\omega^2=mgh+10mgh'

\frac{1}{2}(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})(\frac{1}{2l})^2=mg(l-lcos\theta)+\frac{10}{2}mg(l-lcos\theta)

Replacing the values and solving

l=\frac{13}{0.54g}

Substituting

l=\frac{13}{0.54(9.8)}

l=2.45cm

A monochromatic light passes through a narrow slit and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen behind the slit. As the slit widt
maw [93]

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.

M = 15 kg, a = 2 m/s2, F =
Lisa [10]

Answer:

<h2>30 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 15 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>30 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 21.8m/s sees a cat 101 m away on the road. How long will it take for the car to accele
kobusy [5.1K]
The acceleration of the car will be needed in order to calculate the time. It is important to consider that the final speed is equal to zero:

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ad\ \to\ a = \frac{-v_0^2}{2d} = -\frac{21.8^2\ m^2/s^2}{2\cdot 99\ m} = -2.4\frac{m}{s^2}

We can clear time in the speed equation:

v = v_0 + at\ \to\ t = \frac{-v_0}{a} = \frac{-21.8\ m/s}{-2.4\ m/s^2} = \bf 9.08\ s

If you find some mistake in my English, please tell me know.
