Let P1=13m/s(1250kg)=16250 kg m/s  (positive velocity is north here)
      P2=-19m/s(1250kg)=-23750 kg m/s
Total system momentum is P1 + P2 = 16250 - 23750 = -7500 (negative momentum is south pointing).
Due to the conservation of momentum, this is also the final momentum and we see the two cars have a mass of 1250 + 1250 = 2500kg and have a velocity
-7500 = 2500kg * Vfinal
Final = -3m/s (moving southward)
Each car's momentum changes from the initial value it had to this final value, but the total system momentum does not change, due to the conservation law.

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. 28.09 amu

Explanation:

The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance),  X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and  X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).

The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.

The atomic weight is computed as follows:

atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of  X-30 × fractional abundance

atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 ×  0.0310

atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194

atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu

To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. Wh
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

 v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

            v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

           a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

          v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

          v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0              

          0 = v₀² /4  - 2 a y '

          v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y)  y’

          y = 4 y'

          y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

         v² = v₀² -2a y’

         v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

         v² = -v₀² / 4

         v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
FromTheMoon [43]

Water is a very unique substance because it can exist in all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) within the normal temperature ranges found on Earth. When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
