Answer:

vB = 8.57[m/s]

Explanation:

Since there is no external force that generates momentum, the amount of momentum is conserved so you will have the following equation

m_{A}*v_{A}=m_{B}*v_{B}\\Where:\\m_{A}= 90[kg]\\v_{A}=10[m/s]\\m_{B}=105[kg]\\\\Therefore:\\\\v_{B}=\frac{m_{A}*v_{A}}{m_{B}}\\ v_{B}=\frac{90*10}{105}\\v_{B}=8.57[m/s]

A sample of a solid nonmetal is compared to a sample of a solid metal. Both samples have the same volume. What is the most likel
KATRIN_1 [288]
The weight could be different, metals have a higher mass than nonmetals, so when occupying the same amount of space, the weight of the metal is far more.

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface
salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

                   R = 2r

                      = 2 \times 0.1 m

                      = 0.2 m

where,    R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

                U = \frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}

                    = \frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}

                    = 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, \frac{U}{2}.

Hence,   K.E = \frac{U}{2}

                     = \frac{0.081}{2}

                     = 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

                 V = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}

                     = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}

                     = 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

A 4 kilogram box is at rest on a frictionless floor. A net force of 12 newtons acts on it. What is the acceleration of the box?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<h2>3 m/s^2</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

Mass m= 4kg

Force F= 12N

Required

Acceleration the relation between force, acceleration, and mass is Newton's first equation of motion, which says a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

F=ma

a=F/m

a=12/4

a=3 m/s^2

What happens to molecules when their kinetic energy decreases?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The speed of molecule decreases and temperature also decreases

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the molecules of a subsance is directly proportional to the temperature of molecule So as the kinetic energy decrease, temperature also decreases. decreses their speed.
