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

Physics

Kruka [31]3 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.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of
torisob [31]
It is as a result of gravity.  (D)

This is as stated by Newton's law of universal gravitation. That two objects in the universe attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart.

The constant of proportionality is the Universal Gravitational Constant.

G = 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of

ionic compound. The atom that lost the electron becomes a cation, and the atom that gains an electron becomes an anion. The cation and anion bond together because they have opposite charges to form an ionic compound. The question may be looking for just cation or anion, though.

ella [17]
The train travells at he speed of 225 km/2.5h
now
225km=225000m
2.5 hr=150min=9000s
=>avg sp of train is=225000/9000s=25m/s
