Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

Suppose there's no external force, then the momentum must be conserved before and after the collision.

Since momentum is defined as the product of object mass and speed. This means that if after the collision, for both object to be at rest then the total momentum is 0.

But before the collision, only 1 is at rest, the other is not -> the total momentum is non 0 before the collision.

Therefor this is not possible with the law of momentum conservation.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

$KE = 1 keV$

$KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J$

$KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J$

now the speed of electron is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}$

$v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s$

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

$F = qvB$

$F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})$

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

$\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}$

$\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}$

so this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

frutty [35]

Newton's subsequent law expresses that power is corresponding to what exactly is needed for an object of consistent mass to change its speed. This is equivalent to that item's mass increased by its speed increase.

We use Newtons, kilograms, and meters each second squared as our default units, albeit any proper units for mass (grams, ounces, and so forth) or speed (miles each hour out of every second, millimeters per second², and so on) could unquestionably be utilized also - the estimation is the equivalent notwithstanding.

Hence, the appropriate answer will be 399,532.

Net Force = 399532

Which of these surface features are formed because of the heating of groundwater?

Tju [1.3M]

The correct option is C.
Hot springs and geysers are formed as a result of been heated up by heat from the interior of the earth. This type of heat is called geothermal heat. A hot spring refers to a spring that is produced as a result of geothermally heated water. Hot springs usually have very high temperature. Geysers is a form of hot spring and it refers to a pool of water that has seeped through a opening in the earth surface.

A container with rigid walls is filled with 4.0 mol of air with Cv=2.5R Then the temperature is increased from 17 degrees C to 3

galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work

U = Q + W

Since there's no change in volume (rigid walls), W = 0.

U = Q

U = n Cᵥ ΔT

U = (4.0 mol) (2.5 × 8.314 J/mol/K) (354 C − 17 C)

U = 28,000 J
