B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s  + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s  

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.

A brand of earplugs reduces the sound intensity level by 27 dB.By what factor do these earplugs reduce the acoustic intensity?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

27dB = 2.7 B

So I / I₀ = 10⁻²°⁷ ,  I₀ is intensity of main sound and I is intensity after reduction.

= 1.99 X 10⁻³

So intensity will reduce by 1.99 X 10⁻³  .

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 meters what’s the velocity
tatuchka [14]

0.31m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel = 4hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 = 14400s

Displacement  = 4400m due west

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is defined as the displacement  per unit of time. It is expressed in m/s or km/hr:

     Velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

     Velocity =   \frac{4400}{14400} = 0.31m/s

1. The geologic time scale divides time into years and centuries, true or false
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is "False"

Explanation:

The geologic time scale is the "schedule" for occasions in Earth history. It partitions time into named units of unique time called in descending order of duration "eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages". The specification of those geologic time units depends on stratigraphy, which is the relationship and order of rock layers. The fossil structures that happen in the stones, nonetheless, give the central methods for setting up a geologic time scale, with the circumstance of the development and vanishing of far and wide species from the fossil record being used to outline the beginnings and endings of ages,, periods, and different stretches.

Geologic time is the broad time period involved by the geologic history of Earth. Formal geologic time starts toward the beginning of the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years back) and proceeds to the current day.
