Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 3 kilograms. The initial v

elocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the right, and the initial velocity of the ball B is 6 meters per second to the left. The final velocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the left, while the final velocity of ball B is 6 meters per second to the right.
1. Explain what happens to each ball after the collision. Why do you think this occurs? Which of Newton’s laws does this represent?

2. What can you say about the total momentum before and after the collision?

3. What do you think would happen to the velocity of each ball after the collision if the masses and initial velocities of each ball were the same?

4. The mass of ball A is 10 kilograms and the mass of ball B is 5 kilograms. If the initial velocity is set to 3 meters per second for each ball, what is the final velocity of ball B if the final velocity of ball A is 2 meters per second? Use the elastic collision equation to find the final velocity of ball B. Assume ball A initially moves from right to left and ball B moves in the opposite direction. Identify each mass, velocity, and unknown. Show your work, including units, and indicate the direction of ball B in your answer.

5. If the mass of each ball were the same, but the velocity of ball A were twice as much as ball B, what do you think would happen to the final velocity of each ball after the collision? To answer this question, create a hypothesis in the form of an if-then statement. The “if” is the independent variable, or the thing that is being changed. The “then” is the dependent variable, or what you will measure as the outcome.

1. After the collision, their velocities have switched. This is Newton's third law of motion.

2. The total momentum is conserved.

3. The same thing would happen if the collision is totally elastic.

For 4 and 5.
Using the conservation of momentum equation
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'<span />

What is the definition of Mutualism
noname [10]
Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.

Recall that work is the amount of energy transferred to an object when it experiences a displacement and is acted upon by an external force. It is given a symbol of W and is measured in joules (J).

W=\vec{F}\cdot \Delta \vec{d}

We can use this formula to determine the work done by very specific forces, generating specific types of energy. We will examine three types of energy in this activity: gravitational potential, kinetic, and thermal. Before we start deriving equations for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, we should note that since work is the transfer and/or transformation of energy, we can also write its symbol as \Delta E.

A simple pendulum 2 m long swings through a maximum angle of 30 ? with the vertical.
Alexus [3.1K]
The complete question was calculate the period T assuming the smallest amplitude.
Using the equation;
T = 2 π√(L/g)
Where T is the period in seconds, L is the length of the rod or wire in meters and g is the acceleration due to gravity. 
Hence; T = 2×3.14 × √(2/9.81)
                = 6.28 × 0.4515
                = 2.836 seconds

What are the three main parts that make up GAIA? Briefly explain and describe each.
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The Gaia spacecraft is composed of two sections: the Payload Module and the Service Module. The Payload Module is housed inside a protective dome and contains the two telescopes and the three science instruments. They are all mounted on a torus made of a ceramic material (silicon carbide).
