The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed. 

Equating momentum before and after collision: 
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u 
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.

Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.

Which factor indicates the amount of charge on the source charge?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. the number of field lines on the source charge

Explanation:

As we know that electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

So here  electric flux due to a point charge "q" is given by

so here we know that flux depends on the magnitude of charge and hence we can say that number of filed lines originating from a point charge will depends on the magnitude of the charge.

An airplane takes off from Dallas Texas to fly to new york city traveling ne for 2,760 km the Same plane returns that day to Dal
Kipish [7]
<h3>Answer</h3>

1104 km/hour

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Distance between Dallas Texas to New York = 2760 km

Time the plane took from Dallas to New York = 2 hours

Time the plane took from New York back to Dallas = 2.5 hours

Formula to use

<h3>distance = speed x time </h3>

Speed the plane took from Dallas to New York

2760 = 2 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2

          = 1380 km/hour

Speed the plane took from New York to Dallas (ROUND TRIP)

2760 = 2.5 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2.5

           = 1104 km/hour
