The magnitude of the racquetball's change in momentum is 0.59 kgm/s approximately.

Given that a racquetball with a mass of 42 g is moving with a horizontal speed of 7 m/s to the right (+x direction).

mass m  = 42g = 42/1000 = 0.042kg

initial velocity before collision u = 7 m/s

It hits the wall of the court and rebounds to the hitter with a horizontal speed of 7m/s to the left (-x direction). That is,

velocity after collision v = 7 m/s

To calculate the magnitude of the racquetball's change in momentum, we will use the formula below

Change in momentum = Mv - Mu

Since momentum is a vector quantity, we will consider the direction.

Change in momentum = 0.042 x 7 - ( 0.042 x - 7)

Change in momentum = 0.294 + 0.294

Change in momentum = 0.588 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the racquetball's change in momentum is 0.59 kgm/s approximately.

Stars within the halo move in random orbits that extend above and below the disk of the galaxy, while stars in the disk move in
Blizzard [7]
<span>Answer: Spherical Distribution Feedback: Correct The stars in the halo component have highly-inclined random orbits that orbit the center of our Galaxy. The stars within the halo would therefore make up a spherical distribution of stars surrounding the center of the Galaxy. In comparison, the disk stars move in elliptical orbits, which are nearly circular and are confined to the disk of the Galaxy. Disk stars therefore have very small inclinations and do not move above or below the plane of the Galactic disk.</span>

Two separate masses on two separate springs undergo simple harmonic motion indefinitely (the surface is frictionless). In CASE 1
Artemon [7]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

Assuming the we have to find ratio maximum forces on the mass in each case

we know that in a spring mass system

F= Kx

K= spring constant

x= spring displacement

Case 1:

F_1=2k\times d

case 2:

F_2=2k\times 2d

therefore, \frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{2K\times d}{2K\times 2d}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Determine the direction in which an electrical signal is carried in a typical multipolar neuron
choli [55]
The direction in which an electrical signal is carried in a typical multi-polar neuron is:
Dendrites, cell body, axon
Specialized projection of neurons are dendrites and axon. The central part of neuron is cell body. So, the electrical signal is carried in a direction that first dendrites carried the signal then it goes towards cell body and then to axon.

What two types of scientific knowledge can be expressed as mathematical equations
melamori03 [73]
 Mathematical equations can express dependencies between things, for example the relationship between the speed and acceleration. This can be summarized under "scientific laws".

More complex laws can represent models, for example a model of a human brain on a neuronal level could be based on complex mathematical equations.
