Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:
the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Distance = (0.5 m/s) x (2.3 s)
Distance = (0.5 x 2.3) m
Distance = 1.15 meters
Answer:
c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.
Explanation:
Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.
The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.
Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.
Answer:
0 Kelvin
Explanation:
Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.
Answer:
T = 0.003 s
(Period is written as T)
Explanation:
Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)
frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second
(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)
Period : T
frequency : f
So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period
T = 
f = 
to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300
T = 
T = 0.00333333333
So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s
[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]
