In elastic collision, both the kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. Conservation means that both the kinetic energy and momentum will have the same values before and after elastic collision.

<span>As the object A has low mass than object B. Hence upon collision, object B moves forward, while object A will move backward. So option "C" is correct. </span>

If a rock is dropped from the top of a tower at the front of it and takes 3.6 seconds to hit the ground. Calculate the final vel
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

35.28m/s; 63.50m

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Time, t = 3.6 secs

Since it's a free fall, acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 0

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = u + at

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V = 0 + 9.8 * 3.6

V = 35.28m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the penny is 35.28m/s.

To find the height, we would use the second equation of motion;

S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}

Substituting the values into the equation;

S = 0(3.6) + \frac {1}{2}*9.8*(3.6)^{2}

S = 0 + 4.9*12.86

S = 0.5 *36

S = 63.50m

Therefore, the height of the tower is 63.50m.

Help me please :(((((((
Dimas [21]

Answer: A.

Explanation: Roughly 180 - 200 million years ago, just before the first dinosaurs evolved. Mammals themselves evolved from a group or reptiles which exhibited mammal-like traits. One of them was specialized teeth. Reptiles tend to have teeth all the same shape. The mammal-like reptiles evolved tiny teeth in front of the jaw and two pairs of over sized fangs along the the sides. Like modern mammals, the head was large in proportion to the rest of the body. The jaws were also evolving another mammal trait, the ability to move sideways. Despite the lack of specialized teeth, acute hearing and the ability to chew, the dinosaurs evolved an adaptation which made them far more successful than mammals--modified leg bones. These limbs could be articulated directly under their bodies. This enabled the legs to support more weight, since the limbs were now under the body instead of at the sides. Then dinosaurs did something which secured their dominance for the next 120 million years - they began to stand on two legs. Although the back was still parallel to the ground, running on two legs greatly increased the dinosaur's speed. Mammals could simply not compete with swift, giant predators and were forced to remain small, and most became nocturnal to evade dinosaurs which were probably active during the day. Despite that they managed to survive which allowed the further evolution of mammals into us, humans.

What is one common electrostatic phenomenon​
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

There are many examples of electrostatic phenomena, from those as simple as the attraction of the plastic wrap to one's hand after it is removed from a package to the apparently spontaneous explosion of grain silos, the damage of electronic components during manufacturing, and photocopier & laser printer operation

alekssr [168]

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving
Alecsey [184]
<h2>The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s  

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

Displacement, s = 0.5 x 44 = 22 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 22

v² = 431.64

v = 20.78 m/s

Velocity at 22 m = 20.78 m/s

The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.
