Answer:

20J

Explanation:

In a collision, whether elastic or inelastic, momentum is always conserved. Therefore, using the principle of conservation of momentum we can first get the final velocity of the two bodies after collision. This is given by;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v          ---------------(i)

Where;

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of first and second objects respectively

u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocities of the first and second objects respectively

v  is the final velocity of the two objects after collision;

From the question;

m₁ = 2.0kg

m₂ = 8.0kg

u₁ = 5.0m/s

u₂ = 0        (since the object is initially at rest)

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

(2.0 x 5.0) + (8.0 x 0) = (2.0 + 8.0)v

(10.0) + (0) = (10.0)v

10.0 = 10.0v

v = 1m/s

The two bodies stick together and move off with a velocity of 1m/s after collision.

The kinetic energy(KE₁) of the objects before collision is given by

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2}m₁u₁² +  \frac{1}{2}m₂u₂²       ---------------(ii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (ii)

KE₁ = (\frac{1}{2} x 2.0 x 5.0²) +  (\frac{1}{2} x 8.0 x 0²)

KE₁ = 25.0J

Also, the kinetic energy(KE₂) of the objects after collision is given by

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2}(m₁ + m₂)v²      ---------------(iii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (iii)

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} ( 2.0 + 8.0) x 1²

KE₂ = 5J

The kinetic energy lost (K) by the system is therefore the difference between the kinetic energy before collision and kinetic energy after collision

K = KE₂ - KE₁

K = 5 - 25

K = -20J

The negative sign shows that energy was lost. The kinetic energy lost by the system is 20J

A sled slides down a hill, reaches the level surface, and eventually comes to a stop. Which fact ultimately explains why the sle
Kitty [74]

Answer:

B. The presence of an unbalanced force(e.g friction) causes a moving object to stop.

Explanation:

As the friction is that force that can stop the sled upon reaching the levelled surface so the option b is correct.

A 5.0 V battery contains 775 C of charge. How much electricity energy can it produce?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

3875J

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the power × time

And it's defined as

Power = IV - I- current and V- voltage

Now quantity of electricity; Q = I × t

Where I is current and t is time

Now Energy = I ×V×t = V× I×t = V× Q;

where Q is quantity of electricity 775C and V is 5.0volt

Hence 775 × (5) =3875J

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A) i) using statistical theory of floxy

(Pa)c = 0.816

(Pb)c = 0.816

ii) using Carothers theory

( Pc ) = 0.917

B) To Obtain the measured value of critical extent of reaction ( 0.866) 1 mol of Glycerol  will react with 1 mol of dicarboxylic acid, but the same can not be applied to our obtained value because our stoichiometry is different
