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 .

In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.0 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (potential, PE, + kinetic, KE) of the athlete must be conserved.

Therefore, we can write:

$KE_i+PE_i =KE_f+PE_f$

or

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

where:

m is the mass of the athlete

u is the initial speed of the athlete (at the bottom)

0 is the initial potential energy of the athlete (at the bottom)

v = 0.80 m/s is the final speed of the athlete (at the top)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.80 m is the final height of the athlete (at the top)

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial speed at which the athlete must jump:

$u=\sqrt{v^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0.80^2+2(9.8)(1.80)}=6.0 m/s$

Why are chemical changes considered "unseen"

morpeh [17]

Because they occur at an atomic level, changing the actual structure of the thing.
