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.

What is the wavelength of a wave if its frequency is 256 Hz and speed of the wave is 350 m/s?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

256=\frac{350}{\lambda} and

\lambda=\frac{350}{256} which means that

the wavelength is 1.37 m, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Modern nuclear bomb tests have created an extra high level of14C in our atmosphere. When future archaeologistsdate samples from
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Too old(Ex. if real time is 1000 then they estimate >1000)

Explanation:

This is because with time our planet may have a definite function which describes temperature.(Because of all the factors and global warming except nuclear bomb testing)

Now nuclear test on planet have significant effect on temperature rise.

Also 14°C rise in temperature is good one because of this.

If future archaeologists only consider that  uniform function as above mentioned then they estimate more time then the real one.

Thus too old is right answer.

Compare between chromosphere, corona and photosphere
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Photosphere: The lowest layer of the sun is called photo sphere . It is about 300 miles thick from the surface. It is the source of solar flares. It is  marked by bright bubbling granules of plasma.

chromosphere emits a reddish glow as the super heated hydrogen burns off but the red rim can only be seen during total solar eclipse.

The third layer of the sun atmosphere is Corona. It can also only be seen during during a total solar eclipse. Temperature in corona can reach as high as 3.5 million degree fahrenheit.  As the gases cool they become solar winds.
