and momentum of the system before and after the crash?

A. The kinetic energy of the system has decreased.
The momentum of the system has decreased.

B. The kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
The momentum of the system remains constant.

C. The kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
The momentum of the system has decreased.

D. The kinetic energy of the system has decreased.
The momentum of the system remains constant.

An air-standard stirling cycle operates with a maximum pressure of 600 psia and a minimum pressure of 10 psia. the maximum volume of the air is 10 times the minimum volume. the temperature during the heat rejection process is 100°f. calculate the specific heat added to and rejected by this cycle, as well as the net specific work produced by the cycle. use constant specific heats at room temperature. the properties of air at room temperature are r

Which of the choices below is one of the primary gases found in the atmosphere? a. helium b. carbon dioxide c. nitrogen d. argon

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
