Two identical objects in outer space have a head-on collision and stick together. If, before the collision, one had been moving

at 2 m/s and the other at 1 m/s, their combined speed after the collision would be?

Answer:

1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved and conservation of momentum is

p₁ + p₂ = p'₁ + p'₂

or

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v'₁  + m₂v'₂

In our problem, after collision v'₁ will be equal to v'₂.

Since objects are identical m₁ = m₂

m(v₁+ v₂) = 2m x v'₁

(2m/s + 1m/s) = 2v'₁

v'₁ = v'₂ = 1.5 m/s

How many cycles have been completed after 3 seconds on the graph​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

3 Cycles

Explanation:

Every cycle on a cosine function are marked by the completion of 5 key points when moving along the x-axis:

(5, 0, -5, 0, 5)

This cycle has a frequency of 2, occurring once every second, thus answering our question easily.

A uniform plank of mass 10kg and length 10m rests on two supports, A and B as shown. A boy of weight 500N stands at a distance o
kifflom [539]

Answer:

U² = 142.86 N

U¹ = 357.14 N

Explanation:

Taking summation of the moment about point A, we get the following equilibrium equation: (taking clockwise direction as positive)

W(2\ m) - U^2(7\ m) = 0

where,

W = weight of boy = 500 N

U² = reaction ay B = ?

Therefore,

(500\ N)(2\ m)-(U^2)(7\ m)=0\\U^2=\frac{1000\ Nm}{7\ m}\\

<u>U² = 142.86 N</u>

Now, taking summation of forces on the plank. Taking upward direction as positive, for equilibrium position:

W-U^1-U^2=0\\500\ N - 142.86\ N = U^1\\

<u>U¹ = 357.14 N</u>

table 4.interaction between two permanent bar magnets what i did to the pair of magnets to cause interaction and observed the ef
Leni [432]

A magnet is a substance which attracts or repels another substance. In a magnet, the atoms are aligned in a particular direction in domains. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. The domains are oppositely aligned in unlike poles. Like poles repel each other where as unlike poles attract each other. Hence, when we bring like poles closer, repulsion would be experienced. In case of unlike poles, they would stick together.
