In a study of momentum during collisions, a student threw an egg at a large sheet of cloth that was suspended from a line and ob

served that the egg did not break during the collision. A second egg, thrown with similar force at a suspended concrete block, did break on impact. Why did the first egg survive the collision while the second egg did not survive?.

From the law of conservation of momentum, the first egg did not break because it forward momentum is transferred to the cloth while the second egg broke, the block exerts an opposite force equal to the momentum of the egg on the egg.

<h3>Momentum</h3>

Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its velocity of motion.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum of an isolated system of colliding bodies is conserved.

When an egg is thrown on a large sheet of cloth suspended, the egg does not break because the momentum of the egg is transferred to the cloth as it is depressed.

However, a second egg, thrown with similar force at a suspended concrete block, did break on impact because the block does not move forward, instead it exerts an equal but opposite force on the egg resulting in the egg breaking.

Therefore, from the law of conservation of momentum, the first egg did not break because it forward momentum is transferred to the cloth while the second egg broke, the block exerts an opposite force equal to the momentum of the egg on the egg.

This type of water occurs as a liquid resource that is dispersed through numerous holes, pores, fractures, and cavities in bodie
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Although this may seem surprising, water beneath the ground is commonplace. Usually groundwater travels slowly and silently beneath the surface, but in some locations it bubbles to the surface at springs. The products of erosion and deposition by groundwater were described in the Erosion and Deposition chapter.

Groundwater is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in between. Water is attracted to the soil particles and capillary action, which describes how water moves through a porous media, moves water from wet soil to dry areas.

Aquifers are found at different depths. Some are just below the surface and some are found much deeper below the land surface. A region may have more than one aquifer beneath it and even most deserts are above aquifers. The source region for an aquifer beneath a desert is likely to be far from where the aquifer is located; for example, it may be in a mountain area.

The amount of water that is available to enter groundwater in a region is influenced by the local climate, the slope of the land, the type of rock found at the surface, the vegetation cover, land use in the area, and water retention, which is the amount of water that remains in the ground. More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not already filling the soil and rock.

The residence time of water in a groundwater aquifer can be from minutes to thousands of years. Groundwater is often called “fossil water” because it has remained in the ground for so long, often since the end of the ice ages.

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl
muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

Which of these is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds on the eastern Pacific Ocean?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding.

Explanation:

The other options of the question were A) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing drought. B) Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing drought. D) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing heavy rain and flooding,

The statement that is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds in the Pacific Northwest to the United States is "Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding."

We are talking about climate or weather terminology. In this case, we are referring to the "El Niño" (the Children) effect. Its presence affects the weather in North America. This phenomenon combines with the "La Niña) effect and it presents itself every two to seven years, ad they last from 8 to 12 months, affecting the weather conditions of the region.
