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

e 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: (2) Use the Momentum Principle.

Explanation:

In fact, it is called the <u>Conservation of linear momentum principle,</u> which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} of the asteroids before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision, no matter if the collision was elastic or inelastic (in which the kinetic energy is not conserved).

In this sense, the linear momentum p of a body is defined as:

p=mV

Where m is the mass and V the velocity.

Therefore, the useful approach in this situation is<u> option (2)</u>.

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two 4.0 kg masses are 1.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0 μC of charge.What is the magnitude of the electric force
xeze [42]

Coulomb's law:

  Force = (<span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) · (charge₁) · (charge₂) / distance²

            = (</span></span><span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C)  / (1.0 m)²

            = (8.99×10⁹ x 1×10⁻¹² / 1.0)  N

            =      8.99×10⁻³  N

            =        0.00899 N repelling.

Notice that there's a lot of information in the question that you don't need.
It's only there to distract you, confuse you, and see whether you know
what to ignore.

-- '4.0 kg masses';  don't need it. 
   Mass has no effect on the electric force between them.

-- 'frictionless table';  don't need it.
   Friction has no effect on the force between them,
only on how they move in response to the force.

Current flows through a resistor; (a) with no direction since it is not a vector (b) from any potential to any different potenti
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

c)From high potential to low potential.

Explanation:

Given that

current is flowing through resister.

As we know that those quantity have direction as well as magnitude then these are called vector quantity and those quantity have only magnitude then they called scalar quantity.

As we know that current have direction as well as magnitude so current is a vector quantity.

Current flows from high potential to low potential.

What is the Primacy Effect? Question 1 options:
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: The primacy effect occurs when you're more likely to remember words at the beginning of a list. A suggested reason for the primacy effect is that the initial items presented are most effectively stored in long-term memory because of the greater amount of processing devoted to them.

So B would be your answer
