Two objects of equal mass collide on a horizontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, object A is at rest while object B

has a constant velocity of 12 m/s. After the collision, the two objects are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision

Answer: 6m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum, the change in momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.

After collision, the two objects will move at the same velocity (v).

Let mA and mB be the mass of the two objects

uA and uB be their velocities before collision.

v be their velocity after collision

Since the two objects has the same mass, mA= mB= m

Also since object A is at rest, its velocity = 0m/s

Velocity of object B = 12m/s

Mathematically,

mAuA + mBuB = (mA+mB )v

m(0) + m(12) = (m+m)v

0+12m = (2m)v

12m = 2mv

12 = 2v

v = 6m/s

Therefore the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision is 6m/s

An airplane cabin is pressurized to 570 mmhg. what is the pressure inside the cabin in atmospheres?
abruzzese [7]
1 atm corresponds to 760 mmHg, so we can set up a simple proportion to find how many atmospheres correspond to 570 mmHg:
1 atm: 760 mmHg = x: 570 mmHg
and from this, we find
x= \frac{1 atm \cdot 570 mmHg}{760 mmHg} =0.75 atm

Why skies are blue but not other colours​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The Short Answer: Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

(Briefly explain what would happen, if there is no existence of capacitor in our world?​
skelet666 [1.2K]

If there is no existence of capacitors in our world there would be no electrical or electronic engineering.

A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It has two terminals and is a passive electrical component. Capacitance refers to a capacitor's effect. A capacitor commonly referred to as a condenser is one of the fundamental parts needed to create electronic circuits. Without fundamental parts like resistors, inductors, diodes, transistors, etc., a circuit's design is incomplete or it won't work properly.

Energy storage is capacitors' most popular application. Power conditioning, signal coupling or decoupling, electronic noise filtering, and remote sensing are further applications. Capacitors are employed in a wide variety of industries and have integrated into daily life due to their numerous applications.

There are numerous significant uses for capacitors. They are employed in digital circuits, for instance, to prevent the loss of data saved in big computer memories during a brief loss of power. The electric energy held in such capacitors keeps the data from being lost during a brief power outage.
