Answer : (D) " in the opposite direction of "

Explanation :

It is given that when object A collides with object B and bounces back. This shows that the collision is elastic. There are two conditions for elastic collision :

(1) The momentum remains conserved

(2) Kinetic energy is conserved.

We know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. After bouncing back, the direction of velocity gets changed. So, the final momentum is in the opposite direction of its initial momentum.

So, the correct option is (D).

When object A collides with object B and bounces back, its final momentum is in the opposite direction of its initial momentum. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "d". This type of collision is elastic in nature as the ball bounces back and so the momentum has to be in the opposite direction of the initial momentum.

A runaway railroad car, with mass 30x10^4 kg, coasts across a level track at 2.0 m/s when it collides with a spring loaded bumpe

Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.775 m

Explanation:

As the car collides with the bumper, all the kinetic energy of the car (K) is converted into elastic potential energy of the bumper (U):

$U=K\\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where we have

$k=2\cdot 10^6 N/m$ is the spring constant of the bumper

x is the maximum compression of the bumper

$m=30\cdot 10^4 kg$ is the mass of the car

$v=2.0 m/s$ is the speed of the car

Solving for x, we find the maximum compression of the spring:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(30\cdot 10^4 kg)(2.0 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 10^6 N/m}}=0.775 m$

Douglas has a segment with endpoints I(5, 2) and J(9, 10) that is divided by a point K such that IK and KJ form a 2:3 ratio. He

Rufina [12.5K]

For the answer to the question above,
the distance from i to j is 5 parts
(2 parts from i to k and 3 parts from k to j)

The y distance from i to j is
10 - 2 = 8

Each part is 8/5 = 1.6
Therefore the distance between the 2 parts from i to k is 3.2

From the y coordinate of I which is 2 plus the 3.2 to point k
2 + 3.2 = 5.2

Answer y =5.2

Now just convert that to fraction and that will be the answer
