They will hit and either bounce back or shoot off to opposite sides.

My guess is either they come to a stop when they come in contact, or one ball is going to go the opposite direction.

Electromagnetic induction means that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates an electric current.

MAVERICK [17]

False. An Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

A car with a mass of 1380 Kg is traveling at 23 m/s to the north. A truck with a mass of 1625 Kg is traveling at 26 m/s to the s

Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ , and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

$p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o}$ (1)

After the collision:

$p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$m=1380 kg$ is the mass of the car

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

$M=1625 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$U_{o}=-26 m/s$ is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (3)

$mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg}$ (6)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-3.49 m/s$ The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

A dart with mass md is launched toward a block of mass mb that is suspended from a string of length L. The dart is moving horizo

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Which of the following statements is accurate?

cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

Which mineral is commonly pinkish and has light-colored, wavy lines? A) quartz B) potassium feldspar C) pyroxene D) amphibole D)

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

the mineral which is pinkish and light in color with wavy lines is potassium feldspar .

pyroxene is a mineral is typically dark in color generally it's color is dark green.

amphibole is also dark in color an is in green color.

olivine is a mineral which is in olive green color.

Quartz is a mineral which is light colored and it is also pink in color but it does not have wavy line.
