A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s

A stone of mass m = 1.05 kg is released from a height of h = 2.1 m into a pool of water. At a time of t = 1.83 s after hitting t
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

ignoring air resistance, the kinetic energy at water impact will equal the potential energy converted

½mv² = mgh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2(9.81)2.1) = 6.4188... m/s

after impact, an impulse will result in a change of momentum.

There is a downward impulse due to gravity equal to the weight of the stone and an upward average force due to water resistance and buoyancy force.

FΔt = mΔv

(F - mg)Δt = m(vf - vi)

(F - mg) = m(vf - vi)/Δt

F = m(vf - vi)/Δt + mg

F = m((vf - vi)/Δt + g)

F = 1.05(((½(-6.4188) - -6.4188)/ 1.83) + 9.81)

F = 12.14198...

F = 12.1 N

An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by-products
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

heterotrophs

Explanation:

According to the parameters established by biology, all living beings that require others to feed themselves are considered heterotrophs, that is, they are not able to produce their food within their organism but rather they must consume elements of nature already constituted as food, already synthesized by other organisms. Among the most prominent heterotrophs, all animals, bacteria and humans stand out.

The term heterotroph comes from the Greek, language in which the prefix hetero means different and trophies means food. In this way, the heterotroph is one that feeds on elements other than one, which takes elements from nature, from the surrounding space to feed. While autotrophic beings have the ability to synthesize inorganic elements such as light, water, carbon dioxide and convert them into food; Heterotrophic beings do not have that capacity, so they must consume plants (in the case that they are herbivores) or animals that have already consumed those plants (that is, in the case that they are carnivorous). In other words, animals and humans always need to feed on other living beings, they could never do so only from inorganic elements such as water.

A total of 875 J of work was done when a force of 175 N was exerted on a box to move it. How far was the box moved
Vladimir [108]
Work = Force times Distance
W = Fd

Given W = 750J, F = 125N;

750 = 125d

Solving for d:
d = 750/125
d = 6

The box moved a distance of 6 meters.

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.
