Potential energy due to gravity
Answer:
0.25m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters
m₁ = 5kg
v₁ = 1.0m/s
m₂ = 15kg
v₂ = 0m/s
Unknown:
velocity after collision = ?
Solution:
Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
Insert parameters and solve for v;
5 x 1 + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )
5 = 20v
v = 
= 0.25m/s
Researchers have estimated that ______ to ______ genes reside within the chromosomes and
influence all genetic characteristics.
a. 10,000; 15,000
b. 20,000; 25,000
c. 50,000; 70,000
d. 100,000; 200,000 b. 20,000; 25,000 Answer is b. 20,000; 25,000
Momentum is a property of moving objects but not stationary objects. You can see this in the formula because momentum equals mass times velocity squared (p=m*v^2). You would not have momentum if you didn't have velocity. Stationary objects have potential energy, and things with potential energy do not have velocity. This is why momentum is a property of moving objects but not of stationary objects.
