Why does the momentum before a collision equal the momentum after a collision?

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 .

Which statement describes the process of subduction? Convection currents pull a plate into the mantle. One plate slides beneath
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  • Subduction is the geological process in which one plate moves under another due to gravitational pull. The regions where this process occurs called subduction zones.
  • A subduction is a tectonic plate which is made up of crust and upper layer of mantle. These two layers are called as lithosphere.
  • Example:  South America, central America and cascade volcanoes. In which the oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate.

Answer:It turns out the Venus flytrap is a power plant, capable of generating electrical signals. Each trap is actually a modified leaf: a hinged midrib, which would be the central vein of a more familiar leaf, joins the two lobes, which secrete a sweet sap to attract insects.

Explanation:The leaves of Venus' Flytrap open wide and on them are short, stiff hairs called trigger or sensitive hairs. When anything touches these hairs enough to bend them, the two lobes of the leaves snap shut trapping whatever is inside.

11) A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 35º incline. It reaches a maximum height of 2.5
Andrej [43]

Answer:

7 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.

K1 +U1=K2+U2

That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.

The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:

KE1= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}

PE2=mgh

K1=U2

\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =mgh

Solve for v

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Input known values and you get 7 m/s.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
