If two objects collide and one is initially at rest, is itpossible for both to be at rest after the collision?

Physics

Kruka [31]2 years ago

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.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

Difference between duracell and interstate golf cart batteries
weeeeeb [17]
Duracell batteries are an example of an electrochemical cell that is powered between the reaction of Magnesium and Zinc, occurring in basic conditions (alkaline battery). This type of reaction has a precise output of 1.5 volts, and looks like this:

Zn + 2MnO2 ➡️ ZnO + Mn2O3

It’s not rechargeable.


Golf Cart Batteries are an example of an electrochemical cell that is powered by the reaction between Lead and Sulfuric Acid (Lead-Acid battery). This type of reaction occurs on larger scales than an alkaline battery, and thus can generate a variety of powers depending on how many instruments are present within the battery. The reaction looks like this:

PbO2 + Pb + 2H2SO4 ➡️ 2PbSO4 + H2O

This is a rechargeable cell, but is rather prone to discharging by the environment and surroundings of the battery.

Travka [436]
<span>Last choice on the list:
Object A has a net charge of 0 because the positive and negative
charges are balanced.
Object B has a net charge of –2 because there is an imbalance of

In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m) for team A can run 100 m in 9.8 s. His rival, the ancho
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

largest lead = 3 m

Explanation:

Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.

So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman  

given data:

Distance = d = 100 m

Time arrival for A = 9.8 s

Time arrival for B = 10.1 s

Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A

=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s

Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B

=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s

As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use

d = vt

= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m  

So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.

largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m

So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.
