Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
Where m1 is mass of first object
m2 is mass of second object
u1 and u2 are initial velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
v1 and v2 are final velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
Here, they are moving as a system after collision. Thus they will posses same final velocity
m1u1 +m2u2=v(m1+m2)
Substituting values
600*4+0=v(600+400)
2400=v*1000
v=2.4 m/s

Now momentum of system
p=Mv
p=(600+400)*2.4
p=1000*2.4
Therefore p=2400 kg m/s
Hope this helps :)

Slicing a tomato is still considered a physical change because you are only altering the shape of it by slicing it. It does not change color or make bubble when slicing the tomato. Therefore, it is still a physical change

a moving billiard ball collides with an identical stationary billiard ball in an elastic collision. after the collision, the sec

MArishka [77]

A billiard ball collides with a stationary identical billiard ball to make it move. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the first ball comes to rest after collision.

<h3>Why does the first ball comes to rest after collision ?</h3>

Let m be the mass of the two identical balls.

u1 = velocity before the collision of ball 1

u2 = 0 = velocity of second ball that is at rest

v1 and v2 are the velocities of the balls after the collision.

From the conservation of momentum,

∴ mu1 + mu2 = mv1 + mv2

∴ mu1 = mv1 + mv2

∴ u1 = v1 + v2

In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system before and after collision remains same.

$\frac{1}{2} mu_1^2+0=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2$

∴ $\frac{1}{2} m(v_1+v_2 )^2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

∴ $\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2+mv_1 v_2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2$

∴ $mv$ ₁ $v$ ₂ = 0

It is impossible for the mass to be zero.
Because the second ball moves, velocity v2 cannot be zero.
As a result, the velocity of the first ball, v1, is zero, indicating that it comes to rest after collision.

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

An elastic collision is a collision between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains constant. There is no net transfer of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy in an ideal, fully elastic collision.

How does the scientific process generally begin?

Murljashka [212]

There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis

Anyone please helps me with this question... I'm stuck..

Zolol [24]

Highest fluid potential energy: answer A
Because the fluid is pushed upwards and potential energy is function of height. Since point A is the highest, there is the highest potential energy.

highest fluid pressure: answer C
This is because it is at the bottom where you have a hydrostatic pressure component

increasing fluid speed: answer B
This is because the section of the pipe is smaller and in order to have the same fluid flow rate the speed must increase
