-- If the two spheres are both at rest when we arrive and start watching them, then their total momentum is zero.  

-- If their center of mass were to move, then that would mean that some momentum had somehow magically appeared.

-- But we know that momentum is conserved so this can't happen.

-- The center of mass must remain at rest.<em> (A)</em>

MArishka [77]

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M

Feliz [49]

Answer:

B). to the right

Explanation:

Since the direction of magnetic field is into the page

So here we know that

B = B_o(-\hat k)

now the velocity is from bottom to top

so we have

v = v_o \hat j

now the force on the moving charge is given as

\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

now we have

\vec F = (-e)(v_o \hat j \times B_o(-\hat k))

\vec F = e v_o B \hat i

so force will be towards Right

During a hurricane, the atmospheric pressure inside a house may blow off the roof because of the reduced pressure outside. If ai
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

817.5 Pa

Explanation:

From Bernoulli's equation, considering thst there is no height difference then

P1+½d(v1)²=P2+½d(v2)²

P1-P2=½d(v2²-v1²)

∆P=½d(v2²-v1²)

Where P represent pressure, d is density and v is velocity. Subscripts 1 and 2 represent inside and outside. ∆P is tge change in pressure

Given the speed at roof top as 128 km/h, we convert it to m/s as follows

128*1000/3600=35.555555555555=35.56 m/s

Velocity at the bottom of roof is 0 m/s

Density is given as 1.293 kg/m³

∆P=½*1.293*(35.56²-0)=817.5 Pa
