Answer:
Thermal physics is the combined study of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and kinetic theory of gases. This umbrella-subject is typically designed for physics students and functions to provide a general introduction to each of three core heat-related subjects. Other authors, however, define thermal physics loosely as a summation of only thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
Explanation:
The answer I think is C -7.6 m/s
The volume of the stream would increase when it was raining and would decrease when there hadn't been rain, not necessarily a drought but just no rain for a while. As far as the sediment particles part they would be slightly bigger because there would be less water for them to mix into causing them to join together.
Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.
Explanation:
momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.
The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s
In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.
The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum
In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.
