8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott
nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

Precipitation tends to be _______ on the _______ side of a mountain because water vapor _______ as it rises there.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Higher, Windward side, Condenses

Explanation:

The Windward side refers to that side of a mountain that faces the direction from which the wind is blowing. In this direction, the moisture containing hot air blowing from a distant place moves upward and strikes the mountain at a greater height, where the air mass is thin and the temperature is relatively cold. As the temperature and pressure decrease with altitude, the hot uprising air cools and gradually condenses. This results in the occurrence of high precipitation over this region i.e. the windward side of the mountain.

Therefore, the precipitation is always higher on the windward side of a mountain as the hot air undergoes condensation at greater height as it rises upward.

How long does a car (1000 kg) have a speed of 30 m/s from a rest if the engine power is 10kw
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: 90.1 s

Explanation:

Use equation for power:

P=F*V

Use eqation for force:

F=ma

F---force

V---velocity

Vr=om/s

V=30m/s

m=1000kg

P=10000W

---------------------------

P=FV

F=P/V

F=10000W/30m/s

F=333.33N

Use equation for force to find accelartaion.

F=ma

a=F/m

a=333.33N/1000kg

a=0.333 m/s²

Use equation for accelaration to find out time:

a=(V-Vs)/t

t=(V-Vs)/a

t=(30m/s)/(0.333m/s²)

t=90.09 s≈90.1 s
