Answer:

The moon has no atmosphere

Explanation:

The temperatures on the surface of the Moon vary much more than those on Earth because the moon has no atmosphere (third answer in the list), and therefore there are no molecules that could retain residual heat and make the change from day to night a softer transition.

How and why does air pressure change with altitude in the atmosphere?

wlad13 [49]

Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with incrementing altitude. The pressure at any caliber in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a homogeneous surface at lower calibers.

Suppose you are on a cart, initially at rest, which rides on a frictionless horizontal track. You throw a ball at a vertical sur

Len [333]

Answer:

$F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b$

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b$

Or equivalently:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0$

Where: $V_c$ represent the speed of the car and $V_b$ the speed of the ball

$m_c$ represent the mass of the car

$m_b$ represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

$F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b$

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b$

Or equivalently:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0$

Where: $V_c$ represent the speed of the car and $V_b$ the speed of the ball

$m_c$ represent the mass of the car

$m_b$ represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A carpenter on the roof of a building accidentally drops herhammer. As the hammer falls it passes two windows of equal height,a)

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) the speed increment of the hammer as it drops past the first window, is greater than that of the speed of the hammer as it drops past the second window. This can also be translated as saying that the hammer spent more time at the second window.

b) III

The best answer would be answer III, The hammer spends more time dropping past window 1, which I had already included in my explanation in (a) above.
