Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c': Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Explanation:

Let the velocity and the mass of the smaller stone be 'm' and 'v' respectively

and the mass of big rock be 'M'

Initial momentum of the system equals

p_i=mv+0=mv

Now let after the collision the small stone move with a velocity v' and the big roch move with a velocity V'

Thus the final momentum of the system is

p_f=mv'+MV'

Equating initial and the final momenta we get

mv=mv'+MV'\\\\m(v-v')=MV'.....i

Now since the surface is frictionless thus the energy is also conserved thus

E_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Similarly the final energy becomes

E_f=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2\

Equating initial and final energies we get

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2\\\\mv^2=mv'^2+MV'^2\\\\m(v^2-v'^2)=MV'^2\\\\m(v-v')(v+v')=MV'^2......(ii)

Solving i and ii we get

v+v'=V'

Using this in equation i we get

v'=\frac{v(m-M)}{(M-m)}=-v

Thus putting v = -v' in equation i  we get V' = 0

This implies Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Suppose you exert 150 n on your refrigerator and push it across the kitchen floor at constant velocity. what friction force acts
Pachacha [2.7K]
Due that the velocity is constant that means that friction force is equal to the force exert by you, otherwise the refrigerator will accelerate or decelerate and in both cases velocity will not be constant.  
So then the friction force between refrigerator and floor is 150 Newtons.

You have a rod with a length of 146.4 cm. You prop up one end on a brick which is 3.8 cm thick. Your uncertainty in measuring th
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

\partial \theta = 0.003

Explanation:

we know that

sin\theta = \frac{3.8}{146.4}

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3.8}{146.4}

\theta = 1.484°

\theta = 1.484° *\frac{\pi}{180} = 0.0259 radians

as we see that sin\theta = \theta

relative error\frac{\partial \theta}{\theta} = \frac{\partial X}{X_1} +\frac{\partial X}{X_2}

Where X_1 IS HEIGHT OF ROCK

X_2 IS THE HEIGHT OF ROAD

\partial X = uncertainity in measuring  distance

\partial X = 0.05

Putting all value to get uncertainity in angle

\frac{\partial \theta}{0.0259} = \frac{0.05}{3.8} +\frac{0.05}{146.4}

solving for \partial \theta we get

\partial \theta = 0.003

A cheetah can run at approximately 100 km/hr and a gazelle at 80 km/hr. If both animals are running at full speed, with a gazell
zimovet [89]
The cheetah's speed is 100x and The gazelle's speed is 80x + 70. Set the two equations equal to each other: 100x = 80x +70 (then subtract 80x from both sides). 20x = 70 (then divide by 20). X =3.5. The cheetah catches the gazelle after 3.5

4- Protein foods?? pls answer these i really need these​
vampirchik [111]

The #1 answer would be meats and eggs. But, as a veggan, I present you with meatless protien-rich food!

1 - <u>Pea protein</u> (used in Beyond Meat, which tastes just like meat btw!)

2 - <u>Soy protein</u> such as tofu

3 - <u>Nuts</u>

4 - <u>Beans</u>! oml so many beans have MORE protien than meat!! ikr!?!?

may I have Brainliest pls =)
