Answer:

V = 6.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

m₁ = 2 kg

m₂ = 18 kg

m₃ = 9 kg

V₁ = 10 m/s

V₂ = 8 m/s

V₃ = 2 m/s

__________

V - ?

Let us write the momentum conservation law for an inelastic impact:

m₁·V₁ + m₂·V₂ + m₃·V₃ = (m₁ +m₂ + m₃) ·V

Cart speed after interaction:

V = ( m₁·V₁ + m₂·V₂ + m₃·V₃ ) / (m₁ +m₂ + m₃)

V = (2·10 + 18·8 + 9·2) / ( 2 + 18 + 9) = 182 / 29 ≈  6.3 m/s

An atom with the expected number of neutrons, protons, and electrons is called a(n)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Stable atom

Explanation:

A stable atom is one that has a balanced nuclear inter-particle force reaction as such the binding energy of a stable atom is sufficient to permanently keep the nucleus as one unit. Examples of a stable atom are the atoms of  monoisotopic elements such as fluorine, sodium, iodine, gold, aluminium, and cobalt.

In a stable atom the expected number of proton, neutron, and electron are present while in an unstable atom or radioactive atom, there are more than the expected number of neutrons or protons, such that the internal energy of the nucleus is excessive and more than the binding energy, which can lead to radioactive decay.

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
spayn [35]

Answer:

v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}

For the y-direction gives

v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

On a highway, a car is driven 80. kilometers
nydimaria [60]

The average speed of the car for the entire trip can be calculate by using:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the total distance covered by the car, and t is the total time taken.


The total distance travelled by the car is:

S=80 km+50 km+40 km=170 km

while the total time taken is:

t=1.00 h+0.50 h+0.50 h=2.00 h


so, the average speed of the car is:

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{170 km}{2.00 h}=85 km/h


so, the correct answer is (3) 85 km/h.

an astronaut on earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. if she were instead in
nadya68 [22]

The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.

Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.
