Answer:

They will move at the same velocity as whichever object was fastest initially.

Explanation:

If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, then the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

The momentum of course will be conserved, both the object will stick together and move together with a speed which will be more than the initial speed of the heavier body but lower than the initial speed of the lighter body in the same direction as they were moving before.

An oscillating dipole antenna 1.73 m long with a maximum 36.0 mV potential creates a 500 Hz electromagnetic wave. (a) What is th

sergejj [24]

Answer:

$E_0=0.021v/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length $l=1.73m$

Voltage $V=36.0mV$

Frequency $F=500Hz$

Generally the equation for maximum Electric Field is mathematically given by

$E_0=\frac{\triangle}{r}$

$E_0=\frac{36*10^{-3}}{1.73}$

$E_0=0.021v/m$

A stationary 6-kg shell explodes into three pieces. One 4.0 kg piece moves horizontally along the negative x-axis. The other two

natta225 [31]

Answer:

-15 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the 4.0 kg fragment is shown below:

For this question, we use the correlation of the momentum along with horizontal x axis

Given that

Weight of stationary shell = 6 kg

Other two fragments each = 1.0 kg

Angle = 60

Speed = 60 m/s

Based on the above information, the velocity = v is

$1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 + 1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 - 4\ v = 0$

$\frac{60}{2} + \frac{60}{2} - 4\ v = 0$

$v = \frac{60}{4}$

= -15 m/s

Match the measurements to the correct number of significant figures.

Shalnov [3]

To calculate the number of sig figs
1. Count ALL nonzero numbers
2. If the zero is between 2 numbers, count it
3. If in a decimal the zero is at the end, count it
4. In a decimal all the zeros before the first nonzero number are placeholders and don't count them
5. In a number greater than zero all zeros AFTER the last nonzero number are placeholders and don't count them.

A - 5
B - 2
C - 3
D - 1
E - 4
