Answer:

$m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of two particles is

$p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Where m1,m2,v1, and v2 are the respective masses and velocities of the particles at a given time. Then, the two particles collide and change their velocities to v1' and v2'. The final momentum is now

$p'=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'$

The momentum is conserved if no external forces are acting on the system, thus

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'$

Let's put some numbers in the problem and say

$m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s$

$(8)(12)+(6)(4)=(8)(-6)+(6)(28)$

$96+24=-48+168$

120=120

It means that when the particles collide, the first mass returns at 6 m/s and the second continues in the same direction at 28 m/s

A 0.500-kg stone is moving in a vertical circular path attached to a string that is 75.0 cm long. The stone is moving around the

Semenov [28]

Answer:

B. 7.07 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the stone when it leaves the circular path is its tangential velocity, $v$ , which is given by

$v=\omega r$

where $\omega$ is the angular speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular path.

$\omega$ is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f$

where $f$ is the frequency of revolution.

Thus

$v=2\pi fr$

Using values from the question,

$v=2\pi\times 1.50\times0.75$

<em>Note the conversion of 75 cm to 0.75 m</em>

$v=2\times3.14\times 1.50\times0.75 = 9.42\times0.75 = 7.065=7.07$

It will sink because mass does not affect the physical properties of the object.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! THIS IS DUE IN 15 MUNITES!! Explain what a Precipitate (Not Precipitation) is and tell me if it is a Physical

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

A precipitate is a solid that separates out of a liquid solution when it is supersaturated (insoluble). This is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Precipitation is when a chemical substance converts into a solid from a solution by converting the substance into an insoluble form or a super-saturated solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the precipitate.

Hope that helps.
