Answer:

inelastic collision

Explanation:

an elastic collision occurs when both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved, while during an inelastic collision only the total momentum is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In particular, if two objects stick together after the collision, only the momentum is conserved, so it is an inelastic collision.

In this problem, we have a girl that catches a ball and then continues together with the ball: the two 'objects' (girl and ball) stick together after the collision, so this is an inelastic collision.

A. inelastic, since the girl moves in the same direction as the thrown ball

A geosynchronous satellite orbits Earth at a distance of 42,250 km from the center of Earth and has a period of 1 day. What is t
yan [13]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the satellite is a=0.22\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by a geosynchronous satellite, d = 42250 km

The time taken by the satellite to covered distance, t = 1 day = 24 hours

Since, 24 hours = 86400 seconds

Let v is the speed of the satellite. It is given by the total distance divided by total time taken such that :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{2\pi d}{t}

v=\dfrac{2\pi\times 42250 \times 10^3}{86400 }

v = 3072.5 m/s

The centripetal acceleration of the satellite is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{d}

a=\dfrac{(3072.5)^2}{42250 \times 10^3}

a=0.22\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the satellite is a=0.22\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

the blackbody curve for a star named Theta is shown below. What is the surface temperature of this star rounded to the nearest w
Ronch [10]

The image of the black body curve is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

T ≈ 3372 K

Explanation:

From the attached curve of the black star, if we trace the peak value of the wavelength from the graph, we will see that it is approximately 859.5 nm.

Thus; λ_peak = 859.5 × 10^(-9) m

From wiens law, we know that;

T•λ_peak = 2.898 × 10^(-3) m.K

Where T is surface temperature.

Plugging in the relevant values, we can find the temperature T

Thus;

T = (2.898 × 10^(-3))/(859.5 × 10^(-9))

T ≈ 3372 K

Can anyone help me on this problem, I’m confused. Thanks
gregori [183]
The answer would be C. velocity. When white light enters a prism it is refracted. This refraction is caused due to a change in velocity (generally speaking, velocity is considered speed in some cases) when entering the prism. In other words, when light enters a prism at an angle, the glass slows down the light causing the light to split into different colors.
