Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s

Which part of the drum vibrates when it produces sound?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.

How did harlow shapley conclude that the sun was not in the center of the milky way galaxy?
timurjin [86]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.
