Volcanoes: Most volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates<span> on the surface of the earth. These plates basically float on mantle. Sometimes these plates will sink into the mantle. The rock becomes so hot it melts. Gradually, the molten rock (the melted rock) will then make it's way back up. When it surfaces it, we call it "lava". As lava layers, it slowly forms a volcano.

Valleys: Basically formed by a river valley. The stream shapes the Earth's crust over time into a funnel-like v-shape or u-shape (depending on the flow of the stream).

Mountains: When plates collide and through pressure start building up into a cone shape.</span>

A 2.0 g particle moving at 5.2 m/s makes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with a resting 1.0 g object.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

(a) The speed of the first particle is 1.75 m/s. The speed of the second particle is 6.9 m/s after the collision.

(b) The speed of the first particle is 3.45 m/s in the negative direction. The speed of the second particle is 1.73 m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

In an elastic collision, both momentum and energy is conserved.

$\vec{P}_{initial} = \vec{P}_{final}\\m_1v_1 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'\\K_{initial} = K_{final}\\\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1'^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2'^2$

Combining these equations will give the speed of the second particle.

$v_2' = \frac{2m_1}{m_1 + m_2}v_1 = \frac{2*2}{2+1}(5.2) = 6.9~m/s$

We can use this to find the speed of the first particle.

$m_1v_1 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'\\2(5.2) = 2v_1' + (1)(6.9)\\v_1' = 1.75~m/s$

(b)

If m_2 = 10g.

$v_2' = \frac{2m_1}{m_1 + m_2}v_1 = \frac{2*2}{2+10}(5.2) = 1.73~m/s$

$m_1v_1 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'\\2(5.2) = 2v_1' + (10)(1.73)\\v_1' = -3.45~m/s$

The minus sign indicates that the first particle turns back after the collision.

(c)

The final kinetic energy of the particle in part (a) and part (b) is

$K_a = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1'^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2\times10^{-3})(1.75)^2 = 0.0031 ~J\\K_b = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_1'^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2\times10^{-3})(3.45)^2 = 0.011~J$

PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A ball is initially thrown downwards with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the top of a 300 m

Sholpan [36]

Using the 3rd equation of motion:

= v² - u² = 2gs ------ [g = Acceleration due to gravity]

= v² - 20² = 2 × 10 × 300

= v² - 400 = 6000

= v² = 6000 - 400

= v = √5600

= v = 74.83 m/s

And yeah it's done :)

How many coulombs of charge do 50 * 10^31 electrons possess

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Quantity of Charge , Q = ne
Where n = number of electrons
e = charge on one electron = -1.6 * 10 ^-19 C.
n = 50 * 10^31 electrons

Q = (50 * 10^31)*( -1.6 * 10 ^-19 ) = -8 * 10^13 C.

Note that the minus sign indicates that the charge is a negative charge.
