Answer: Correct option is C) because momentum is conserved

 

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of linear momentum if net external force on a system is zero then the total momentum of the system will be conserved .

<u>For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system</u>

If we consider the two colliding object as a single system then while collision the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

Thus momentum before collision equal the momentum after a collision because momentum is conserved .

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

A 0.095 kg tennis ball is traveling to the right at 40 m/s when it bounces of a wall and travels in the opposite direction it ca
Mashutka [201]

given that

mass of ball = 0.095 kg

initial velocity of ball towards the wall = 40 m/s

final velocity of the ball after it rebound = 30 m/s

now change in momentum is given as

\Delta P = m(v_f - v_i)

\Delta P = 0.095(30 - (-40))

\Delta P = 6.65 kg m/s

So change in momentum will be 6.65 kg m/s

What does it mean to say that science is a “systematic” process?
Maurinko [17]
Systematic is just a certain way of doing something. So science being systematic may just refer to the scientific method or how theories are proved in science by repeating the scientific method over and over again.

A grating has 2000 slits/cm/cm. How many full spectral orders can be seen (400 to 700 nmnm) when it is illuminated by white ligh
Anton [14]

With the use of the formula SinФ = nλ / d, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.

Given that a grating has 2000 slits/cm. That is,

d = 0.01 / 2000

d = 5 x 10^{-6} m

The wavelength λ = (700 - 400) nm

λ = 300 x 10^{-9} m

To calculate how many full spectral orders that can be seen (400 to 700 nm) when it is illuminated by white light, we will use the below formula

SinФ = nλ / d

Φ = Sin^{-1} (nλ / d)

When n = 1

Φ = Sin^{-1}(300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Φ = 3.4 degrees

when n = 2

Φ = Sin^{-1}(2 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = 6.9 degrees

When n = 3

Ф = Sin^{-1}(3 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

When n = 16

Ф = Sin^{-1}(16 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = Sin^{-1}(0.96)

Ф = 73.7 degrees

when n = 17

Ф = Sin^{-1}(17 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = Sin^{-1}(1.05)

Ф = Error ( that is, it does not exist)

Therefore, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.
