Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

What is the SPEED of a ball that travels 120 m in 6s?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

20m/second

Explanation:

The reason the answer is 20m/second is because to find the speed of the ball in this question you have to divide the distance over the time giving you the result of 20m/second

A hill is 132 m long and makes an angle of 12.0 degrees with the horizontal. As a 54 kg jogger runs up the hill, how much work d

TEA [102]

Answer:

14523.55J

Explanation:

The work done by the jogger against gravity is given by the following equation;

$W=mgh.................(1)$

where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity taken as $9.8m/s^2$ and h is the height of the hill.

Since the length of the hill is 132m and it is inclined at 12 degrees to the horizontal, the height is thus given as follows;

$h=132sin12^o\\h=27.44m$

Substituting this into equation (1) with all other necessary parameters, we obtain the following;

$W=54*9.8*27.44\\W=14523.55J$

Compare the catching of two different water balloons.

Stels [109]

Answer:

a. The volume V₁ and V₂

b. The case that involves the greatest momentum change = Case B

c. The case that involves the greatest impulse = Case B

d. b. The case that involves the greatest force = Case B

Explanation:

Here we have

Case A: V₁ = 150-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

Case B: V₂ = 600-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

a. The variable that is different for the two cases is the volume V₁ and V₂

b. The momentum change is by the following relation;

ΔM₁ = Mass, m × Δv₁

The mass of the balloon are;

Δv₁ = Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity

Mass = Density × Volume

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Case A, mass = 150 × 0.997 = 149.55 g

Case B, mass = 600 × 0.997 = 598.2 g

The momentum change is;

Case A: Mass, m × Δv₁ = 149.55 g/1000 × 8 m/s = 1.1964 g·m/s

Case B: Mass, m × Δv₁ = 598.2/1000 × 8 = 4.7856 g·m/s

Therefore Case B has the greatest momentum change

The case that has the gretest momentum change = Case B

c. The momentum change = impulse therefore Case B involves the greatest impulse

d. Here we have;

Impulse = Momentum change = $F_{average}$ × Δt = mΔV

∴ $F_{average}$ = m·ΔV/Δt

∴ For Case A $F_{average}$ = 149.55×8/Δt = 1196.4/Δt N

For Case B $F_{average}$ = 598.2×8/Δt = 4785.6/Δt

Where Δt is the same for Case A and Case B, $F_{average}$ for Case B >> $F_{average}$ for Case B

Therefore, Case B involves the greatest force.

The parking brake on a 1000 kg Cadillac has failed, and it is rolling slowly, at 1 mph , toward a group of small children. Seein

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

0.5 mph in the opposite direction

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of Cadillac = 1000 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of Cadillac = 1 mph

$m_2$ = Mass of Volkswagen = 2000 kg

$v_2$ = Velocity of Volkswagen

In order to know the speed the system must have the momentum exchange

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\dfrac{1000\times 1}{2000}\\\Rightarrow v_2=-0.5\ mph$

The speed of the impact is given by 0.5 mph in the opposite direction
