For this problem, we use the equations derived from the projectile motion. Particularly, we use the trajectory of the projectile equation written below:

y = xtanθ + gx/2v₀²cosθ
where
y is the vertical height
x is the horizontal distance
θ is the launch angle
g is 9.81 m/s²
v₀ is the initial velocity

Since it was thrown horizontally, θ = 0°. Substituting the values,

y = 17tan0° + (9.81)(17)/2(9.50)²cos0°
y = 0.924 m

The two particles are both moving to the right. Particle 1 catches up with particle 2 and collides with it. The particles stick
Travka [436]

Answer:

c. vf is greator than v2, but less than v1

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies act upon one another, their total momentum remains constant.

In a system of colliding bodies the total momentum of the system just before the collision is the same as the total momentum just after the collision.  

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is conserved are called elastic collision.

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.  If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

<em>The above scenario is a perfectly inelastic collision. The initial velocity of particle 1 was greater than particle 2 before collision. After collision, its velocity will reduce to a final velocity vf as it transfers some of its kinetic energy to particle 2; whereas, the velocity of particle 2 will increase to a final velocity vf as it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of particle 1.</em>

Therefore,

a. vf = v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

b. vf is less than v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

c. vf is greater than v2, but less than v1 is correct.

d. vf = v1 is wrong because vf is less than v1

What are the similarities &amp; differences between a thermistor and a light dependent resistor in physics?
viva [34]

An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.
