A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

A 2.0-kg object moving with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 3.0-kg object moving with

Andrej [43]

Answer:

5.4 J.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the object, m = 2 Kg

initial speed, u = 5 m/s

mass of another object,m' = 3 kg

initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s

KE lost after collusion = ?

Final velocity of the system

Using conservation of momentum

m u + m'u' = (m + m') V

2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V

16 = 5 V

V = 3.2 m/s

Initial KE = $\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m'u'^2$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3 \times 2^2$

= 31 J

Final KE = $\dfrac{1}{2} (m+m')V^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 5 \times 3.2^2 = 25.6 J$

Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.

Heat transfer by radiation depends on ____

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Infrared

Explanation:

This is the electromagnetic spectrum just above the visible light spectrum with higher energy (and higher frequency). This electromagnetic radiation is responsible for feeling the heat when you place your hand close to the side of a fire. It is also harnessed in night vision where bodies that emit some form of heat are visible due to their emission of IR.
