Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.

What is the resistance of the coil A at 600 kelvin if its resistance at 300 kelvin is 50 ohms? (Assume the temperature coefficie
leonid [27]

155Ω

Explanation:

R = R ref ( 1 + ∝ ( T - Tref)  

where R = conduction resistance at temperature T

R ref = conductor resistance at reference temperature

∝ = temperature coefficient of resistance for conductor

T = conduction temperature in degrees Celsius

T ref = reference temperature that ∝ is specified at for the conductor material

T = 600 k - 273 k = 327 °C

Tref = 300 - 273 K = 27 °C

R = 50 Ω ( 1 + 0.007 ( 327 - 27) )

R = 155Ω

We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

Listed following is a set of statements describing individual stars or characteristics of stars. Match these to the appropriate
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Red giant or super giant → very cool but very luminous

                                      → found in the upper right of the H-R diagram.

Main sequence →The majority of stars in our galaxy

                        → Sun, for example

                        → a very hot and very luminous star

White dwarfs → very hot but very dim

                     → not much larger in radius than earth  

Explanation:

Giant:

When the stars run out of their fuel that is hydrogen for the nuclear fusion reactions then they convert into Giant stars.That's why they are very cool. Giant stars have the larger radius and luminosity then the main sequence stars.

Main Sequence:

Stars are called main sequence stars when their core temperature reaches up to 10 million kelvin and their start the nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen into helium in the core of the star. That is why they are very hot and luminous. For example sun is known as to be in the stage of main sequence as the nuclear fusion reactions are happening in its core.

White dwarfs:

When the stars run out of their fuel then they shed the outer layer planetary nebula, the remaining core part that left behind is called as white dwarf. It's the most dense part as the most of the mass is concentrated in this part.
