Answer:
Explanation:
The equation for acceleration is
where vf is the final velocity and v0 is the initial velocity. Filling in:
so
a = 2.5 m/s/s
"D. Both have electrons that orbit the atomic nucleus in a similar way ." is not shared by Bohr's model and the modern atomic model.
Hope this helps,

I think the answer would be c
The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
= (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)
= (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)
= 2.25 joules.
Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy is never created or destroyed.
If it seems that some energy disappeared,
it actually had to go somewhere.
And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
it actually had to come from somewhere.
The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.
