A bowling ball with a mass of 9kg is thrown down a lane with a constant speed of 3 m/s. The ball hits the 1.5kg pin, initially a

olasank [31]

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3 conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1 where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9 = (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

Suppose the Sun moved twice the distance from Earth. Describe immediate and future changes to our planet. Justify your reasoning

Reptile [31]

Our year would now be 2.8 times longer, we would also be receiving only 1/4 of the energy from the sun that we currently do. This means that we’d now be out beyond the orbit of Mars and right at the edge of the asteroid belt, and things would rapidly get very cold with temperatures expected to drop by around 50 degrees Celsius on average, and that’s with our current atmospheric composition which would not be stable in the new conditions. And also, any living thing on earth would die.

Two cars collide at an intersection. One car has a mass of 1600 kg and is

pickupchik [31]

The combined momentum is 4000 kg m/s south

Explanation:

The total combined momentum of the two cars is given by the vector addition of the momenta of the two cars.

For this problem, we choose north as positive direction and south as negative direction.

The momentum of the first car travelling north is given by:

$p_1 = m_1 v_1$

where

$m_1 = 1600 kg$ is the mass of the car

$v_1 = +8 m/s$ is its velocity

Substituting,

$p_1 = (1600)(8)=+12800 kg m/s$

The momentum of the second car travelling south is given by:

$p_2 = m_2 v_2$

where

$m_2 = 1400 kg$ is the mass of the car

$v_2= -12 m/s$ is its velocity (negative because the car travels south)

Substituting,

$p_2 = (1400)(-12)=-16800 kg m/s$

And therefore, the combined momentum is

$p=p_1 + p_2 = +12800 + (-16800)=-4000 kg m/s$

where the negative sign means the direction of the total momentum is south.

Is is false or true The closer objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.

____ [38]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects becomes weaker if the two objects are moved apart and stronger if they are brought closer together; that is, the force depends on the distance between the objects
