Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.
Explanation:
momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.
The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s
In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.
The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum
In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.
Scientific knowledge itself cannot have a positive or negative impact on society per se. What can have a negative or positive impact is how this knowledge is being used.
While we all enjoy a beter life due to advancements in medicine and technology for example, this was because people decided they would put certain scientific discoveries into practice and spread them among the people.
The same thing can also be said for negative scientific discoveries. While energy produced in atomic power plants per se isn't harmful, when making an atomic bomb out of it, it can be disastrous. It was the intention of doing something evil with it that might have had a negative impact on society, not the knowledge itself.
She can use the information of redshift of a celestial body is to find the age and distance of the object.
<h3>What is red shift?</h3>
'Red shift' is a critical idea for astronomers. The frequency of the light is increased, so the light is observed as moving towards the red side of the range.
Tabitha knows the redshift value of a particular celestial object. She uses this information to observe the consequence of the redshift.
Thus, the red shift value is used to determine the age and distance of the object.
