A pool ball hits a second pool ball with equal mass. The first pool ball comes to a complete stop, while the second pool ball rolls away.

The second pool ball's velocity will be the same as the first pool ball's velocity was.<em> (B)</em>  

And that's literally 'velocity', not just speed.  The second ball must take off from the collision with the same speed AND in the same direction as the first ball.  

That's the only way that momentum can be conserved !

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.
elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is  taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.
