<u><em>heyaaaaa</em></u>

<u><em>Momentum before Pb = momentum after Pa</em></u>

Pb = 75*6 - 100*8 = -350kgm/s = Pa = (75+100)V where V is the velocity of the combined mass of the two players after the collision.

<u><em>Velocity has magnitude (speed) and direction. V = -350/175 = -2m/s </em></u>

So the two players are moving at 2m/s in the direction the 100kg player was moving before the collision.

<em><u>I arbitrarily chose the direction of the smaller player as positive so the opposite direction (of the larger player) had to be negative. </u></em>

hope it helpssss!!!!!!

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

What elements are solid liquid and gas at room temperature?
Alona [7]

Elemental hydrogen (H, element 1), nitrogen (N, element 7), oxygen (O, element 8), fluorine (F, element 9), and chlorine (Cl, element 17) are all gases at room temperature, and are found as diatomic molecules.

Titanium, Lead, Potassium, and Silicon are solids at normal temperature.

Mercury and bromine (Br) are the only liquid elements at standard pressure and temperature (Hg).

<h3>What are chemical elements?</h3>

A chemical element is a species of atoms, including the pure substance made entirely of that species, that have a specific number of protons in their nuclei. Chemical elements, in contrast to chemical compounds, cannot be reduced by any chemical process into simpler molecules.

What is mean by combination reaction ?​​
mrs_skeptik [129]

\underline{\purple{\large \sf Combination \: reaction :-}}

Those reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a one new substance are called Combination reaction

In this reaction, We can add :

  • Two or more elements can combine to form a compound.
  • Two or more compounds can combine to from a one new compound.
  • An element and a compound can combine to form a new compound.

\underline{\green{\large \sf For\: example :}}

\sf 2H_{2}  + O_{2} \:  \underrightarrow{Combination} \: 2H_{2}o

In this, Hydrogen is an element and Oxygen is another element. Both are combined to form compound 'Hydrogen oxide'. Hydrogen oxide is commonly known as water.

An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first
nordsb [41]

Answer:

a=0.555m/s^2

Explanation:

First we find the distance traveled from the moment the engineer reacts to the car, assuming uniform movement

X=VT

X=(18)(0.45)=8.1m

then we find the distance at which the deceleration begins, which is obtained by subtracting the total distance with the inner result

X=300-8.1=291.9

finally we use the equation for constant acceleration

Vf=0 final speed

Vo=18m/s= initial speed

X=291.9m

(Vf^2-Vo^2)/2X=a

(0-18^2)/(2*291.9)=a

a=0.555m/s^2
