Answer:

Combined speed, V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object 1, m = 5 kg

Speed of object 1, u = 4 m/s (due right)

Mass of object 2, m' = 2 kg

Speed of object 2, u' = -3 m/s (due left)

<em>Let V is the speed of the objects after the collision. Here, both objects stick to each other. Therefore, the momentum remains conserved. So,</em>

mu+m'u'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{mu+m'u'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{5\times 4+2\times (-3)}{(5+2)}\\\\V=2\ m/s

So, the combined speed of the masses will be 2 m/s.

Using the formula 1/2 (m x v2), what is the kinetic energy of a 4 kg rock falling through the air at 5 m/s
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

KE = 50J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\ KE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(5)^{2} \\\\ KE = 2(25) \\\\ KE = 50J

Which explanation best describes a wave?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.
