Answer:
A the type of research method to use
The Answer to the question above is A. 2.7 x 102 joules.
The correct option is D.
Isotopic substances typically have unstable nuclei and that is why they disintegrate in order to become stable. During the process of disintegration, the nucleus of the unstable substance will be split into two smaller fragments, which are more stable that the parent isotope. This disintegration may also be accompanied by radiations.
This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal.
momentum = mass x velocity
(1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.
