The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
1 answer:
The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.
According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.
The given data in the problem is;
m is the mass =6.0 kg
t is the time interval=2 second
From Newton's second law;
From the graph;
The change in the momentum is;
Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.

(G)-->Iron and steel industry is called a heavy industry because all the raw material as well as finished goods are heavy and bulky entailing heavy transportation costs. Iron ore, coking coal and limestone are required in the ratio of 4:2:1 approximately. Some quantity of manganese is also required to harden the steel.
(H)-->Sodium is very reactive in nature. When exposed in air, it automatically forms Na2O. When it is put in water it reacts vigorously and starts burning on water. Due to the above reasons Sodium is called an active metal.
(I)-->Down the group, the effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons is decreasing because the outermost electrons are far away from the nucleus. Thus, these electrons can be lost easily by the element to form positive ions. Hence, the chemical reactivity of metals increases on going down a group.
(J)-->While moving from top to bottom in a group of the periodic table, the reactivity of non- metals decreases. While moving from top to bottom in a group of non- metals, the atomic size increases with the additional number of shells and the force of attraction between the nucleus and valence shell decreases.
