In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,
KE1 = KE2
The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.
KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²
This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.
KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)
The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.
Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
Answer:
Part 1)
Boat A will win the race
Part 2)
Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line
Part 3)
average velocity must be zero
Explanation:
As we know that the distance moved by the boat is given as

now the time taken by the boat to move to and fro is given as



Time taken by Boat B to cover the distance


Part 1)
Boat A will win the race
Part 2)
Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line
Part 3)
Since the displacement of Boat A is zero
so average velocity must be zero
Answer:
it gets brighter because the volta increases
