This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

An object is placed 4.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm . Where is the image of the object?
Serjik [45]

The image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

<h3></h3>

What is the image of an object?

The image of an object is said to be the location where light rays from that object intersect with a mirror by reflection.

It is calculated thus:

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>How to calculate the image of an object</h3>

From the formula

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>Where </h3>

V = image distance fromthe object

U = object

f = focal length

Substitute the values

1÷v = 1÷8 - 1÷ 4

1÷v = - 1÷8

Make v the subject of formula

v = -8cm

Therefore, the image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

A skydiver is falling through the sky. Her speed increases, but she feels air resistance. Which way is her net force vector poin
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:  C

Explanation:

The forces at play, are gravity (which is pointing down[g]) and air resistance(which is pointing up [R]). The net force is [F] is

F = g + (-R) if we choose down as +tive and up as -tive.

Since the skydiver IS falling, it means g is bigger than F, since gi si responsible for pulling down, and this then confirms that the net force will then be pointing downwards.
