How are similes and metaphors different

Answer:

The simile and the metaphor are two <u>literary figures</u> that have in common the fact that they are used to make a comparison.

That is, both compare two words, concepts or terms, but the difference is that:

While the <u>simile</u> links two terms with a comparative nexus (such as: <em>as, similar to, it seems, just like</em>, etc.); the <u>metaphor </u>does not, because in this case one term represents and substitutes the other (terms that are different but share some type of similarity).

For example, the following sentence has a simile:

<h2>Her eyes were <u>as</u> green as emeralds </h2>

Here we are making a comparison using the <u>comparative nexus</u> as.

And this one is a <u>metaphor:</u>

<h2> I was lost in her <u>emerald gaze </u></h2>

Here we are making the same  comparison (the green color of the eyes with the green color of the emeralds). Nevertheless, no comparative nexus is used.

Similes are directly comparing two objects, such as, "Life is LIKE and open book."
Metaphors also compare things, but more or less are making a statement. "Life is an open book."

In a collision, a 50.0 kg mass moving at 10.0 m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 25.0 kg mass. What is the velocity of the 2
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Velocity B = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass and velocity of the first object be A.

Let the mass and velocity of the second object be B.

Given the following data;

Mass A = 50 kg

Velocity A = 10 m/s

Mass B = 25 kg

To find the velocity of mass B;

First of all, we would determine the momentum of mass A;

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Momentum A = 50 * 10

Momentum A = 500 Kgm/s

As a result of the collision, momentum of mass A is equal to the momentum of mass B.

Momentum A = Momentum B

500 = mass B * velocity B

500 = 25 * velocity B

Velocity B = 500/25

Velocity B = 20 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the 25.0 kilogram mass after the collision is 20 meters per seconds.
