<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>

2.1 Define Resultant vector​
lord [1]

Explanation:

In vector geometry, the resultant vector is defined as: “A resultant vector is a combination or, in simpler words, can be defined as the sum of two or more vectors which has its own magnitude and direction.”

I hope it's helpful!

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?
sdas [7]
The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
W=q \Delta V
where q is the charge and \Delta V is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is \Delta V = 9.0 V, so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C

Do you think a baseball curves better at the top of a high mountain or down on a flat plain
Serhud [2]

A baseball will curve better on the flat plain if it is higher than sea level but low elevation.  

Hope this helped!
