Answer:

D.) A 15 kg mass moving at 2.0 m/s

Explanation:

The inertia of an object is most directly related to its mass and not the magnitude of the velocity.

So, the higher the mass of an object, the more its inertia.

According to Newton's first law of motion "an object will remain in its state of rest or of constant motion unless it is acted upon by an external force".

Inertia is the tendency of a body to remain in a state of rest either by virtue of its static position of constant motion.
The larger the mass, the more this tendency.
An object with a large mass will take more force to bring it from rest or change its motion.

Ixchelt burns her tongue when she takes a sip of hot coffee from her mug. Which part of this example represents heat?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

"The thermal energy moving from her coffee to the tongue" represent the heat.

Here coffee is at high temperature while tongue is at low temperature, when Ixchelt tongue make contact with coffee then thermal energy of coffee is absorbed by tongue and tongue gets burned.

As heat always from high Potential to low that is why heat is absorbed by tongue.

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub

aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse ( $F \times t$ ). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

$s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$ .

Thus, impulse

$= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

From Newton`s second law,

$F =mg$

Therefore, impulse

$= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}$

Given, $m = 7.3 kg$ and $s = 2.0 m$

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse

$= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns$ .

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.

In this case, lithium would be classified as a(n)

Black_prince [1.1K]

Lithium is to be considered as an ION

Atom is defined as its natural state where it will have all its electrons present in its shell

Since in this case Lithium is giving its electron so after giving the electron it will become an ion

Compound is the combination of two or more different atoms

Molecules is the combination of same type of atoms

So here answer must be

<em>C) ion</em>
