A 6 kg mass collides with a body at rest .After collision they travel together with a velocity equal
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

12 kg

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

After the collision, they have the same velocity, so v₁ = v₂ = v:

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v + m₂ v

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

We know that m₁ = 6 kg, u₂ = 0 m/s, and v = u₁ / 3.

(6 kg) u₁ + m₂ (0 m/s) = (6 kg + m₂) (u₁ / 3)

(6 kg) u₁ = (6 kg + m₂) (u₁ / 3)

6 kg = (6 kg + m₂) (1/3)

18 kg = 6 kg + m₂

m₂ = 12 kg

Simple definition of polar vector​
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

In physics, a polar vector is a vector such as the radius vector that reverses sign when the coordinate axes are reversed

Explanation:

Polar vectors are the type of vector usually simply known as "vectors." In contrast, pseudovectors (also called axial vectors) do not reverse sign when the coordinate axes are reversed.

A person hits a 45-g golf ball. The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 10 m          

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg

The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces  straight up with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s.

We need to find the height the ball will rise  after the bounce. It is based on the conservation of energy such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

h is maximum height raised by the ball

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(14)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=10\ m

So, the ball will raised to a height of 10 meters.

The electric field is strongest where equipotential curves are:_______.A) closest togetherB) farthest apartC) most nearly straig
cluponka [151]

Answer:

A closest

Explanation:

This is because the electric field will be strongest or largestwhen the equipotential curves are closest together

We know that the field is

E= V/d

Where is distance and we see that d being the denominator will only make E bigger if it becomes smaller that is the curves closest
