Answer: Yes

Explanation:

does hot air rise

er substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward. This is the concept used in the hot air balloons.

A car traveling at 50 m/s uniformly accelerates to 60 m/s over an 58 second interval. What is the displacement?

yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

here u = 50m/s

v = 60m/s

t = 58 s

then a = (60-50)/58 m/s2

= 0.17m/s2

now s= ut+1/2at2

so , 50×58+0.5×0.17×(58)^2 m

= 3185.94 m

= 3.18 km

football player A has a mass of 110 kg is running on the field is velocity of 2 m/s football player B has a mass of 120 kg and a

valkas [14]

Complete Question:

Football player A has a mass of 110 kg, and he is running down the field with a velocity of 2 m/s. Football player B has a mass of 120 kg and is stationary. What is the total momentum after the collision?

Answer:

Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

For footballer A

Mass, M1 = 110kg

Velocity, V1 = 2m/s

For footballer B

Mass, M1 = 120kg

Velocity, V1 = 0m/s since he's stationary.

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass * velocity$

a. To find the momentum of A;

$Momentum \; A = 110 * 2$

Momentum A = 220 Kgm/s.

b. To find the momentum of B;

$Momentum \; B = 120 * 0$

Momentum B = 0 Kgm/s.

c. To find the total momentum of the two persons;

$Total \; momentum = Momentum \; A + Momentum \; B$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Total \; momentum = 220 + 0$

Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s.

I need help with my physics homework agh! Please help it's due tomorrow.

storchak [24]

Rubbing both pieces cause each piece to have a negative charge.

When two parts have the same they repel each other, so holding one piece up tot he end of the other piece would push it away.

Because one piece is held in the middle by a string, it would rotate the piece in a circle.

If they held the piece to the other end of the one held by a string it would start to rotate in the opposite direction.

gayle cooks a roast in her microwave oven. the klystron tube in the oven emits photons whose energy is 1.20 x 10^-3 ev. what are

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is $1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV$ .

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

$1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J$

The energy of a wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the wavelength of these photon is $1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$ .
