The momentum of an object varies directly with the speed of the object. Two objects of different mass are moving at the same speed; the more massive object will have the greatest momentum. A less massive object can never have more momentum than a more massive object.

Hi there!

<u>The car. </u>

Recall the equation for momentum:

\large\boxed{p = mv}

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

Thus, if both objects have the SAME velocity, the object with the greater MOMENTUM would have a larger MASS.

A car's mass is greater than that of a bicycle, so the car would have a greater momentum.

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

For 1983 through 1989, the per capita consumption
Tresset [83]

Answer:

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

Explanation:

We were told that in 1983, the per capita consumption was 37.1 pounds, and in 1989 it was 50 pounds.

If we assume t = 0 corresponds to year 1980. Then, for 1983 it will be t = 3 and for 1989,it will be t = 9.

Thus, expressing the information as ordered pairs, we have; (3,37. 1) and (9,50).

Let us now find slope of the linear function:

m1 = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)

m1 = (50 - 37.1)/(9 - 3)

m1 = 2.15

So, we can find the linear equation as;

y - 37.1 = 2.15(t - 3)

y = 37.1 + 2.15t - 6.45

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

can someone describe how someone is moving-- have examples of positive velocity negative velocity and acceleration and the perso
Rama09 [41]

Assume the motion when you are in the car or in the school bus to go to the school.


To describe the motion the first thing you need is a point of reference. Assume this is your house.


This should be a description:

  • When you are sitting and the car has not started to move you are at rest.
  • The car starts moving from rest, gaining speed, accelerating. You start to move away from your house, with a positive velocity (from you house to your school) and positive acceleration (velocity increases).
  • The car reaches a limit speed of 40mph, and then moves at constant speed. The motion is uniform, the velocity is constant, positive, since you move in the same direction), and the acceleration is zero.
  • When the car approaches the school, the driver starts to slow down. Then, you speed is lower but yet the velocity is positive, as you are going in the same direction. The acceleration is negative because it is in the opposite direction of the motion.
  • When the car stops, you are again at rest: zero velocity and zero acceleration.
  • In all the path your velocity was positive, constant at times (zero acceleration) and variable at others (accelerating or decelerating).
  • When you comeback home, then you can start to compute negative velocities, as you will be decreasing the distance from your point of reference (your house).
