Explain why the value of the hanging mass’s weight (include the hanger!) is equal in magnitude to the force that was required to make the bob accelerate.

A1200 kg car traveling north at 10 m/s is rear-ended by a 2000 kg truck traveling at 30 m/s. what is the total momentum before and after the collision?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Considering only the earth's rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above helsinki at longitude 25˚ e? this would have obliterated the city.
