Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is best defined as the ability of an object to resist a change in position or movement. That is why when an object has a higher mass, the higher the inertia. Imagine an oncoming truck that is fully loaded versus you. The tendency for the truck to change its movement would be difficult because of its its mass. It has a lot of inertia.

A man weighing 720 N and a woman weighing 500 N have the same momentum. What is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy Km to that
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Because weight W = M g, the ratio of weights equals the ratio of masses.

(M_m g)/ (M_w g) = [ (p^2 Man )/ (2 K_man)] / [ (p^2 Woman )/ (2 K_woman)

but p's are equal, so

K_m/K_m = (M_w g)/(M_m g) = W_woman / W_man = 450/680 = 0.662Explanation:

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?
horrorfan [7]
For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ

A theory is a framework of ideas and assumptions used to explain some set of observations and to make predictions about the real
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

All the predictions in the impact theory are true.

Explanation:

That’s because of their predictions. Modern computer simulations predict that there happened a collision between Earth and a planet named as Theia. The chunks of both planets conformed into a stable orbit and form the satellite that we know today as our Moon. Similarly, both moon and Earth share similar mantle compositions but cores are dissimilar in terms of their size and composition.

PLZ HELP why do the planets move in a way that promotes life?​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Because plant means a life. Plants need foods and energy as same as human. So for a plant mostly need sun light and water.

They need water because water is collected through root of the plant and absorbed from the soil.

They need sun light because do the process of photosynthesis and plants need other gasses well as water and sun light for live and survive.

At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to 1515
Talja [164]

Complete  Question

At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to 1/5.

Answer:

The  angle is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The light emerging from second Polaroid is 1/5 the  unpolarized

Generally the intensity of light emerging from the first Polaroid is mathematically represented as

             I_1 = \frac{I_o}{ 2 }

Generally from the Malus law the intensity of light emerging from the second Polaroid  is mathematically represented

      I_2  =  I_1 cos^2 (\theta )

=>   cos^2 (\theta ) =  \frac{I_2}{I_1 }

=>   cos (\theta) =  \sqrt{ \frac{I_2}{I_1} }

From the question I_2  =  \frac{I_o}{5}

     cos (\theta) =  \sqrt{ \frac{ \frac{ I_o}{5} }{\frac{I_o}{2} } }

     cos (\theta) =  \sqrt{ \frac{2}{5} }

=>    \theta =   cos ^{-1} [\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}  ]

=>    \theta  =  50.77^o
