<h2>Answer::</h2>

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.','.

A ball with a mass of 275 g is dropped from rest, hits the floor, and re-bounds upward. If the ball hits the floor with a speed

disa [49]

Answer:

a) $\Delta p = 1.350\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , b) $\Delta p' = -0.454\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , c) D. The magnitud of the change in the ball's momentum.

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum is:

$\Delta p = (0.275\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(1.63\,\frac{m}{s} \right)-\left(-3.28\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]$

$\Delta p = 1.350\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

b) The change in the magnitude of the ball's momentum:

$\Delta p' = (0.275\,kg)\cdot \left[(1.63\,\frac{m}{s} )-(3.28\,\frac{m}{s} ) \right]$

$\Delta p' = -0.454\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

c) The magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum is more directly related to the net force acting on the ball, as it measures the effect of the force on change in ball's motion at measured time according to the Impact Theorem. So, the right answer is option D.

. A 1.50kg mass on a spring has a displacement as a function of time given by the equation: x(t) = (7.40cm)cos[(4.16s-1)t – 2.42

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Solution:

we have given the equation of motion is x(t)=8sint [where t in seconds and x in centimeter]

Position, velocity and acceleration are all based on the equation of motion.

The equation represents the position. The first derivative gives the velocity and the 2nd derivative gives the acceleration.

x(t)=8sint

x'(t)=8cost

x"(t)=-8sint

now at time t=2pi/3,

position, x(t)=8sin(2pi/3)=4*squart(3)cm.

velocity, x'(t)=8cos(2pi/3)==4cm/s

acceleration, x"(t)==8sin(2pi/3)=-4cm/s^2

so at present the direction is in y-axis.

Teams red and blue are having a tug-of-war. According to Newton's third law, the force with which the red team pulls on the blue

Zielflug [23.3K]

There are a few reasons that one teams could win. It depends if the on of the teams has a better grip on the rope or not or maybe one off the teams has more friction between the ground and there shoes. So really it no matter what one of the teams will win.
