Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

     = 1000 (0 - 20)

     = 1000 (-20)

     = -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

Stells [14]

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}

solving for t

we have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

substituing all value for time t

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}

v = 7.67 m/s

Bob is coming toward you at a speed of 75 km/hr. You throw a baseball in his direction at 75 km/hr. What does he see the ball do
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

He sees the ball coming at him at 150 km/hr.

Explanation:

In Newtonian physics, the observer would say that the velocity of the first object is the sum of the two velocities.

Due to the same direction, both velocities will be added.

Today chemistry is based on the law ofwhat is the matter ​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

One scientific law that provides the foundation for understanding in chemistry is the law of conservation of matter. It states that in any given system that is closed to the transfer of matter (in and out), the amount of matter in the system stays constant.

How are the three cell layers of an embryo related to its development?
Andru [333]
The said development of the cell where the three cell layers help out do it is called as Gastrulation. The three layers - called as ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm - tend to form as this happens. This is a process that's present in all living things except sponges.
