An air track car with a mass of 0.75 kg and a velocity of 8.5 m/s to the right collides elastically with a 0.65kg car moving to

the left with a velocity of 7.2m/s. If the collision is elastic, what is the speed and direction of each car after the collision?

We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.

Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:

Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s

Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s

Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s

Substituting this into p=mv again:

1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!

1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)

The gravitational force between two objects is f. If masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them, t
Marrrta [24]

The gravitation force is quartered when two objects' masses are halved without changing their distance.

Gravitational law states that the force of attraction and repulsion between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

F=(KM1 M2)/r^2

K= Gravitation force constant

M1M2 = masses of the object

r = distance between objects

When M1 and M2 are halved, it becomes M1/2 and M2/2

F=(K M1/2 x M2/2)/r^2

F=(K (M1 x M2)/4)/r^2

F=(KM1 x M2)/(4r^2 )

Recall

F=(KM1 x M2)/r^2

Therefore

F=F/4

When water change into ice it contracts or expand<br> plz answer fast..
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:Yes, water indeed expands when it changes form from liquid to solid. And this is because water has a property called “hydrogen bonds”, and these bonds occur between each water molecule. But when water is in a liquid form these hydrogen bonds break more easily and occur less frequently. When the temperature drops the kinetic energy also drops, which in turn makes hydrogen bonds form more frequently. So the water molecules form a lattice, which is less dense than regular liquid water.

Which sentences describe the cyclone device?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a  cylindrical chamber.

✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large  enclosure.

✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust  hopper at the bottom.

✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the  filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.

✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.

Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST....<br>Determine the value of F...​
aleksley [76]
F should be 10. If The Whole top is 50cm, then we should subtract 10n and 30n which gives us 10.

Or it could be 15 if both top and bottom are 25. 10+15= 25.
