<span>When a collision occurs, the change in momentum, is the difference in the momentums of the two objects after the collision minus the momentum of the object before the collision. From the aforementioned , we have change in momentum to be final momentum after collision - momentum before collision. But then the impulse of the fird bullet is just the change in momentum. Impulse = Ft where F = Ma. Where F= force and a is the acceleration. F = 1000* a; since a = V/t; i. e change in velocity by time. So we have 5000/5 =1000ms^2. Hence F = 1000 * 1000 = 1000000N. Then our Impulse , Ft = 1000000 * 5 = 5000000N. Momentum just before collision = 1000 * 500 = 500000. After collision we have final momentum = m * 20 where m is the mass after collsion. So we have 20M - 500000 = 5000000. 20M = 5000000-500000 = 4500000. M = 225000Kg.</span>

How do Leeuwenhoek’s observations of animalcules compare to Hooke’s observations of cells in the cork?
fomenos

Answer:

Robert Hooke

Was the first to use the word "cell"

Observed cork cells

Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Observed "animalcules"

Used polished lens .

Explanation:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek is known as father of microbiology. He is credited to improve the quality of lens in microscope. His first observation of organisms called animalcules.

He is credited to have build microscope that could get magnified by 200 times. He used word animalcules for small organisms from pond water when first observed in microscope. He discovered protozoa and named it animalcules".

Robert Hooke is famed for discovering cell from a cork of plant. He observed a compartment or honey comb like divisions when observed these cork cells under the microscope and named it cell. He was only able to see the cell wall as the cork cells are dead cells.

Identical guns fire identical bullets horizontally at the same speed from the same height above level planes, one on the Earth a
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

I. The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is greater for the Moon.

II. The flight time is less for the bullet on the Earth.

Explanation:

Horizontal distance depends on the initial speed, height and gravity. Bullets have the same initial speed and are shot from the same height. In these conditions horizontal distance only depends on gravity, which is inversely proportional. Therefore, the less gravity the greater the horizontal distance. Gravity slows bullet and causes its impact on the ground. Since gravity is greater in Earth, the bullet hits faster on the earth.

Two small aluminum spheres, each of mass 0.0250 kilograms, areseparated by 80.0 centimeters.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Total number of electrons

N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}

electrons removed from each sphere

N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

As we know that moles is defined as

n =\frac{mass}{molar mass}

n = \frac{0.0250}{0.026982}

n = 0.93

so number of atoms of Al in each sphere is given as

N = 0.93(6.02 \times 10^{23})

N = 5.58 \times 10^{23}

Now number of electrons in each atom is given as

atomic number = number of electrons in each atom = 13

total number of electrons in each sphere is

N = 13 \times (5.58 \times 10^{23})

N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}

Also we know that force of attraction between them is given as

F= \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

1.00 \times 10^4 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{0.80^2}

q = 8.4 \times 10^{-4} C

now we have

q = Ne

8.4 \times 10^{-4} = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19}

N = \frac{(8.4 \times 10^{-4})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

f = \frac{5.27 \times 10^{15}}{7.25 \times 10^{24}}

f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}

For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?
spayn [35]

Answer:

To calculate the age of a piece of bone

Explanation:

Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is  normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.

Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.

A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The position of the person will be 2.5 m
