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 .

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

$5,2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light $C=3.0×10^8 m/s.$

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

$V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}$

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

$d=1.5*10^11m$

Therefore

$t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}$

$t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}$

$t=5*10^2s$

Since m and n is given in the form of

$m*10^n$

Therefore

$m=5 & n=2$

$5,2$

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of children $m_1=20\ kg$

$m_2=30\ kg$

distance between two children $L=3\ m$

suppose small child is at a distance of x m from pivot point

so torque of small child and heavier child must be equal

$20\times (x)=30\times (3-x)$

$2x=9-3x$

$5x=9$

$x=1.8\ m$

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec
