If two objects collid and one is initially at rest, is it possible for both to be at rest after the collision?

Answer:

<em>Is it NOT possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum</u>

The total linear momentum of a system of particles is conserved regardless of their internal interactions while no external force is applied to the system. If m_1 and m_2 are the masses of two particles, and only one of them is at rest, there is a non-zero total linear momentum, i.e.

P_1=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

if at least one of the speeds is not zero, the total initial linear momentum is not zero.

If after the collision, both particles remain at rest, both speeds will be zero and the total linear momentum won't be conserved.

So, is it NOT possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision

In a collision experiment, the ratio of the velocity change between two carts of equal inertia is found to equal 1.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

A) Therefore if I double the masses with are in the two terrine they are simplified and the radii of the speeds remain the same

B) If the masses are maintained and the speeds are doubled, the radius of the two speeds remains the same

Explanation:

A vehicle crash problem must be solved with the equation of the moment,

Initial instant Before crash

              p₀ = m v₁ + mv₂

After the crash

            p_{f} = m v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

           p₀ = p_{f}

If the speed ratio before and after the crash is one

           p₀ / p_{f} = 1

We can assume that initially one of the cars was stopped

           m v₁₀ = m v_{2f}

           v₁₀ = v_{2f}

For the two speeds to be equal, the masses of the vehicles must be the same.

A) Therefore if I double the masses with are in the two terrine they are simplified and the radii of the speeds remain the same

B) If the masses are maintained and the speeds are doubled, the radius of the two speeds remains the same

Evaluate the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Explain how hydrogen is produced. Write about the environmental impact of using diesel a
posledela

Explanation:

Hydrogen is used as a fuel because it has a high calorific value per molecule when burned in air and also burns explosively. When burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to produce water  which is safe for the environment. This same property of hydrogen of high explosiveness makes it difficult to store safely.  

Hydrogen can be produced through the electrolysis of water. However this is high energy consuming. The most common method is called steam-methane reforming. Methane from hydrocarbon is mixed with steam under high pressure and reacts to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

Diesel and petrol and other petroleum products when burned produce carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases when increasing in the atmosphere, cause greenhouse effect that results in global warming.

Compare the atmospheric pressure of two places 500m and 2 km respectively above sea-level. Give reason for your answer.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The average pressure at mean sea-level (MSL) in the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is 1013.25 hPa, or 1 atmosphere (atm), or 29.92 inches of mercury. Pressure (p), mass (m), and the acceleration due to gravity (g), are related by P = F/A = (m*g)/A, where A is surface area.
