Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.
Explanation:
A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.
That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.
<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it. </u>
Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.
Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.
15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s
73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x
solve for x
x= 3.23
The final velocity is 3.23 m/s
