Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

From the question, since there is a lost in kinetic energy, Then the collision is an inelastic collision.

m'u'+mu = V(m+m')........... Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the moving object, m = mass of the stick, u' = initial velocity of the moving object, initial velocity of the stick, V = common velocity after collision.

make V the subject of the equation above

V = (m'u'+mu)/(m+m')............. Equation 2

Given: m' = 2 kg, m = 8 kg, u' = 5 m/s, u = 0 m/s (at rest).

Substitute into equation 2

V = [(2×5)+(8×0)]/(2+8)

V = 10/10

V = 1 m/s.

Lost in kinetic energy = Total kinetic energy before collision- total kinetic energy after collision

Total kinetic energy before collision = 1/2(2)(5²) = 25 J

Total kinetic energy after collision = 1/2(2)(1²) +1/2(8)(1²) = 1+4 = 5 J

Lost in kinetic energy = 25-5 = 20 J

At a distance D from a very long (essentially infinite) uniform line of charge, the electric field strength is 1000 N/C. At what
Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We know that, the E is inversely proportional to the distance as follows :

E=\dfrac{k}{d^2}

We can write it as follows :

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2

Put all the values,

\dfrac{1000}{2000}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{2000}}=(\dfrac{d_2}{D})\\\\0.7071=\dfrac{d_2}{d}\\\\d_1=0.7071D\\\\d_1=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt2}

So, the correct option is (a).

Well, if your question is how light affects plants,

then you would want to design an experiment that plays aruond with the amount of light a plant gets

thus the thing changing (or variable) would be amount of light

What type of motion does the galaxy go through
Mariana [72]

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.
