Answer:

the direction of rate of change of the momentum is against the motion of the body, that is, downward.

The applied force is also against the direction of motion of the body, downward.

Explanation:

The change in the momentum of a body, if the mass of the body is constant, is given by the following formula:

$\Delta p=\Delta (mv)\\\\\Delta p=m\Delta v$

p: momentum

m: mass

$\Delta v$ : change in the velocity

The sign of the change in the velocity determines the direction of rate of change. Then you have:

$\Delta v=v_2-v_1$

v2: final velocity = 35m/s

v1: initial velocity = 40m/s

$\Delta v =35m/s-40m/s=-5m/s$

Hence, the direction of rate of change of the momentum is against the motion of the body, that is, downward.

The applied force is also against the direction of motion of the body, downward.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The 6 fingers allele is dominant

Explanation:

We are told that the the individual is genotypically heterozygous, that is the have both types of the finger allele: the 5 finger allele and the 6 fingers allele however phenotypically, 6 fingers are observed. From this we can conclude that the 6 fingers allele is the one that is dominant because it is the one that is expressed phenotypically.

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.00

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms

Balboa Park in San Diego has an outdoor organ. When the air temperature increases, the fundamental frequency of one of the organ

musickatia [10]

The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will go up or increase.

When pressured air is forced into an organ pipe, it echoes at a particular pitch, generating the sound of the pipe organ. Each pipe has been adjusted to a particular pitch on the musical scale.

A musical instrument called an outdoor pipe organ is used to perform music. It produces some calming tones and has a really serene sound. The organ pipe produces the sound of the outdoor organ. The wavelength of the sound is also dependent on the length of the pipe. The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will grow as the speed of the sound increases as the ambient air temperature rises.

The correct option is (c).

Answer:

Alfred Wegener

Explanation: Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents. Though most of Wegener's observations about fossils and rocks were correct, he was outlandishly wrong on a couple of key points. For instance, Wegener thought the continents might have plowed through the ocean crust like icebreakers smashing through ice.

What displacement do I have if I travel at 10 m/s E for 10 s? <br> I need this fast

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

100m.

Explanation:

Simply put, displacement is how far you've been displaced from your starting location. say you start at 0. You now travel E (assuming East) at 10 m/s for 10 s. Now, let's assume m is meters and s is seconds. you moved east at 10 meters per second for 10 seconds. This means that for each second you moved east, you moved 10 meters. Therefore, your displacement is 100 meters because 10 times 10 is 100. So you would write 100m as your displacement.
