Answer:
This is an open circuit
Explanation:
An open circuit I believe
It needs to be closed for the bulb to be turned on
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
I think these two variables are sufficient to completely specify the state.
In an isolated room with air only ,the volume is fixed.Mass ,density and its specific volume can be easily known.
Other thermodynamic properties like entropy, enthalpy etc are also fixed at a given temperature & pressure.
B) All nonzero digits are significant.
