Answer: To complete the process of digestion after the food is ingested by mouth.

Explanation:

The food that we eat is ingested by mouth and here the mechanical degradation of food takes place. This breaks down the food into smaller pieces.

Mouth also contains the enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch.

Then the food from the mouth reaches the stomach where various types of digestive juices and enzymes are secreted to digested the food.

Hence, mouth and stomach must be near in the digestive system.

Bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving -1.72 m/s. What is the veloc
Nuetrik [128]

The velocity of B after elastic collision is 3.45m/s

This type of collision is an elastic collision and we can use a formula to solve this problem.

<h3>Elastic Collision</h3>

v_2 = \frac{2m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2} - \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2}u_2

The data given are;

  • m1 = 281kg
  • u1 = 2.82m/s
  • m2 = 209kg
  • u2 = -1.72m/s
  • v1 = ?

Let's substitute the values into the equation.

v_1 = \frac{2*281*2.82}{281+209} -\frac{281-209}{281+209}(-1.72)\\v_1 = 3.45m/s

From the calculation above, the final velocity of the car B after elastic collision is 3.45m/s.

Anna35 [415]
As the first astronaut throws the ball, lets assume it goes with v velocity and the mass of the ball be m
the momentum comes out be mv, thus to conserve that momentum the astronaut will move opposite to the direction of the ball's motion with the velocity mv/M (where M is the mass of the astronaut).
