Answer:

See bolded below.

Explanation:

Consider the " Before " and " After. " " Before, " this particle 1 was trying to catch up with this particle 2, and " after " particle one had collided with particle two. Take a look at the attachment below for a more detailed examination.

Here is how this will play out. Particle 1, with great velocity, will hit particle 2, which would mean that Particle 2 has less velocity than Particle 1. Now after the collision, energy is transferred to Particle 2, and while Particle 1 has now stopped in it's tracks, Particle 2 - with more energy than before - will continue as long as it has to before friction eventually brings it to a stop.

_______________________________________________________

From this we can conclude that Vf, from the picture below, must have less energy than V1, but more energy than V2 - and vice versa.

Why is an object's density expressed as a combination of two units
miss Akunina [59]
Well, first of all, EVERY physical quantity is measured in a combination
of 2 or more units, except for mass, length, time, and electric charge. 
ALL other units are made out of these.  So it should not surprise you.

[  Example:  Speed  =  (length) / (time)  ]

Density is not the mass of a substance.  It's the mass of a substance in
a standard volume of it.  So the density is made of the mass in any lump
and the volume of that lump.  That way, no matter how much of a substance
you have, you can always compare the lump you have to all other substances.

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back a certain distance and released. The maximum speed of the mass is measured
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

b. 0.20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 0.2 kg

maximum speed,  v = 0.3 m/s

The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²

K.E = 0.009 J

If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg

¹/₂mv² = K.E

mv² = 2K.E

v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.009}{0.4} } \\\\v = 0.21 \ m/s\\\\v \approx 0.20 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s

Physics is really confusing...is there anyone that can show it to me?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

1.0×10³ N

Explanation:

μs is the static coefficient of friction.  That's the friction that acts on a stationary (non-moving) object when being pushed or pulled.

μk is the kinetic coefficient of friction.  That's the friction that acts on a moving object.

To budge the pig (while it's still stationary), we need to overcome the static friction.

F = N μs

For a non-moving object on level ground, the normal force N equals the weight.

F = mg μs

Given m = 130 kg and μs = 0.80:

F = (130 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.80)

F = 1019.2 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force needed to budge the pig is 1.0×10³ N.
