Which of the following is true when an object of mass m moving on a horizontal frictionless surface hits and sticks to an object

of mass M > m, which is initially at rest on the surface?The collision is elastic.A. All of the initial kinetic energy of the less-massive object is lost.B. The momentum of the objects that are stuck together has a smaller magnitude than the initial momentum of the less massive object.C. The speed of the objects that are stuck together will be less than the initial speed of the less-massive object.D. The direction of motion of the objects that are stuck together depends on whether the hit is a head on collision

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

A collision is said to be elastic when the total kinetic energy is the same after the collision. The speed of objects that are stuck together will always be less than the initial speed of the object that was in motion given that the other particle was at rest. It is because the kinetic energy of the system was due to the moving object. The objects have a greater overall mass when they are stuck. If the kinetic energy is the same and the mass increases, the velocity must decrease.

car company wants to build a wind- powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the mechanical
navik [9.2K]

EVEN IF they can build such a machine, it's not too useful.

-- If the wind starts and stops, your car would do the same thing.

-- If the wind isn't blowing at all, your car is going nowhere. (and fast)

-- You could never move along the road faster than the wind is moving along the road.

-- You could never move in the direction towards where the wind is coming from.  This has been proven before, with the technological marvel known as the "sailboat".

Call your broker immediately.  Tell him you do NOT want to buy any stock in CarCompany.

What should you do immediately if a boat motor catches fire?
olganol [36]
 If a boat motor catches fire, you should immediately shut off the fuel supply, and try to put out the fire with an extinguisher. It is very important to have fully charged fire extinguishers on hand. As soon as you notice the fire activate the extinguisher and do not panic. In order to prevent fire remember to c<span>lean the bilges often and maintain proper gear stowage, make sure short-tie cables are properly connected...</span>

A kitten has a mass of 0.8 kg. It is moving forward with a momentum of 0.5 kg • m/s. What is the kitten’s velocity?
morpeh [17]

The kitten's velocity is   V=0.625 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Solving the problem,</u>

Given

Mass=0.8 kg

Momentum=0.5 kg.m/s

Velocity=?

We have the formula,

P=M*V

V=P/M

V=0.5 kg.m/s/0.8 kg

V=0.625 m/s

The kitten's velocity is   V=0.625 m/s
