Two asteroids in outer space collide and stick together. The mass of each asteroid, and the velocity of each asteroid before the

impact, are known. To find the momentum of the stuck-together asteroids after the impact, what approach would be useful? (1) Use the Energy Principle. (2) Use the Momentum Principle. (3) It depends on whether or not the speed of the asteroids was near the speed of light. (4) Use the relationship among velocity, displacement, and time. ( 5) It depends on whether the collision was elastic or inelastic.

Answer:

(5) It depends on whether the collision was elastic or inelastic.

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces and the fact that masses and initial velocities are known, it is needed to determine if collision is elastic or inelastic. If collision is inelastic, the Momentum Principle is sufficient to calculate final momentum, but if it is elastic, the Momentum Principle should be complemented with the application of the Energy Principle.

Hence, the correct answer is (5).

If it were possible to move a star towards the earth then its apparent magnitude number would ______ while its absolute magnitud
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

If it were possible to move a star towards the earth then its apparent magnitude number would decrease while its absolute magnitude number would stay the same.

Definition of apparent magnitude:

The luminosity of a celestial body (such as a star) as observed from the earth compare absolute magnitude.

So for example, the apparent magnitude of the Sun is -26.7 and is the brightest celestial object we can see from Earth. However, if the Sun were 10 parsecs away, its apparent magnitude would be +4.7, only about as bright as Ganymede appears to us on Earth.

Definition of absolute magnitude:

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.

If a magnet is attracted to a metal object what can you say about the pole of the magnet and the pole of a object ?
Sauron [17]
Space surrounding magnet is called the magnetic field. In this field we can encounter magnetic force. Magnet attraction occurs when poles are unlike and is caused by magnetic force. It means that poles should have opposite values.

Differentiate between angular displacement and linear displacement.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The angular displacement is not a length (not measured in meters or feet), so an angular displacement is different than a linear displacement. ... As the object rotates through the angular displacement phi, the point on the edge of the disk moves distance sa along a circular path.

A 1000-kilogram car traveling with a velocity of 20. meters per second decelerates uniformly at -5.0 meters per second2 until it
Elis [28]

Answer:

-20000 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.

Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as

I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.

Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.

Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 100(0-20)

I = 1000(-20)

I = -20000 kgm/s

Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s
