Answer:

2.47 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass X Velocity

If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,

Total momentum before = Total momentum after

Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)

= 94

Total momentum after = 94

Y = Object speed after collision

94 = (20+18)Y

Y = 2.47368421 m/s

Identify solar, wind, nuclear, and tidal power as nonrenewable or renewable energy
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Renewable energy: Tidal, solar and wind

Non renewable energy: nuclear power

Renewable energy is any energy in which its source is always replenished or renewed.

While non renewable energy sources cannot be replenished or renewed immediately because of its limited availability of resources.

Most renewable energy sources are natural sources.

Solar, tidal and wind energy are renewable energy known as clean energy. While nuclear energy is a non renewable energy in which its source of energy is fuel ( uranium e.t.c)

An object is dropped from a platform 100 feet high. Ignoring wind resistance, what will its speed be when it reaches the ground?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<span>if we assume the origin is at the dropping point and the object is merely dropped and not thrown up or down then y0 = 0 and v0 = 0. The equation reduces to </span>

<span>y = 0 + 0t + ½gt² </span>
<span>y = ½gt² </span>

<span>t = √(2y/g) </span>

<span>in the ft - lb - s system </span>

<span>y = -100 ft </span>
<span>g = -32.2 ft / s² </span>

<span>t = √(2y/g) </span>
<span>t = √(2(-100) / (-32.2)) </span>
<span>t = 2.5 s</span>
