The quest to put Americans on the moon before the Soviets do. During the Space Race, a couple of astronauts went up into space only to be tragically killed in an explosion.
Answer:
Option D.
Value cannot be calculated without knowing the speed of the train
Explanation:
The speed of the beam can only be calculated accurately when the speed of the train is put into consideration. Based of the theory of relativity, the observer is on the ground, and the train is moving with the beam of light inside it. This causes a variation in the reference frames when making judgements of the speed of the beam. The speed of the beam will be more accurate if the observer is moving at the same sped of the train, or the train is stationary.
To get the correct answer, we have to subtract the speed of the train from the speed calculated.
If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.
2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that,
Mass of Jeremy is 120 kg (
)
Speed of Jeremy is 3 m/s (
)
Speed of Jeremy after collision is (
) -2.5 m/s
Mass of Hans is 140 kg (
)
Speed of Hans is -2 m/s (
)
Speed of Hans after collision is (
)
Linear momentum is defined as “mass time’s speed of the vehicle”. Linear momentum before the collision of Jeremy and Hans is
= 
Substitute the given values,
= 120 × 3 + 140 × (-2)
= 360 + (-280)
= 80 kg m/s
Linear momentum after the collision of Jeremy and Hans is
= 
= 120 × (-2.5) + 140 × 
= -300 + 140 × 
We know that conservation of liner momentum,
Linear momentum before the collision = Linear momentum after the collision
80 = -300 + 140 × 
80 + 300 = 140 × 
380 = 140 × 
380/140= 
= 2.71 m/s
2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.
Kinetic energy, KE, is modeled by the formula

, where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/s.
In this scenario, mass and one-half are constant but the velocity changes.
You can see that by squaring twice the velocity, that is equal to four times the original KE. Therefore, the answer is 4k.
