<span>When a collision occurs, the change in momentum, is the difference in the momentums of the two objects after the collision minus the momentum of the object before the collision. From the aforementioned , we have change in momentum to be final momentum after collision - momentum before collision. But then the impulse of the fird bullet is just the change in momentum. Impulse = Ft where F = Ma. Where F= force and a is the acceleration. F = 1000* a; since a = V/t; i. e change in velocity by time. So we have 5000/5 =1000ms^2. Hence F = 1000 * 1000 = 1000000N. Then our Impulse , Ft = 1000000 * 5 = 5000000N. Momentum just before collision = 1000 * 500 = 500000. After collision we have final momentum = m * 20 where m is the mass after collsion. So we have 20M - 500000 = 5000000. 20M = 5000000-500000 = 4500000. M = 225000Kg.</span>

A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

v_f=v_o+at

Let's call the velocity that the car maintains for 10 seconds v_f_1, and the final velocity v_f_2.

v_f_1=0+(4)(5)=20m/s \\\\v_f_2=20+(-2)(4)=12m/s

Hope this helps!

High school and collage students answers only. <br> Are all compounds molecules? Why or why not?
Shkiper50 [21]
All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. A molecule is two atoms joined together. A compound is two different atoms joined together.

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.

A 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. Suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor
yawa3891 [41]
The molar mass of the sample is equal to the summation of the molar mass of the elementas multiplied by the abundance of the elements by mole. In this case, copper has an abundance of 93.69 percent while zinc has 6.31 percent. In this case, the average molecular weight is 63.67 g/mol
