Answer:

B. 1500 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p = m* v

In any type of collision, the total momentum is preserved!

The total momentum before and the total momentum after the collision is the same. We know the mass and speed after the collision so we can calculate the total momentum.

p1 + p2 =

m1*v1 + m2*v2

m1 = me = 300 kg

v1 = 3 m/s

v2 = 2 m/s

Substitute the given numbers:

300*3 + 300+2

900 + 600

1500 kg*m/s, which is answer B.

An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis  

        Fy + N - W = 0

        Fy + N = W

X axis

       Fx - fr = 0

      Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

   The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small

What is Nuclear energy
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Nuclear energy is that released by dividing the nuclei of heavy atoms (also called under the name Nuclear Fission)

Explanation:

In this process, a large amount of heat is generated that can be used to obtain mechanical energy, which is used to generate electrical energy.

Nuclear energy is a sustainable source of energy having a low impact on the environment.

elixir [45]

Answer:

wavelength.

Explanation:

One complete expression of a waveform beginning at a certain point, progressing through the zero line to the wave’s highest (crest) and lowest (trough) points, and returning to the same value as the starting point is called a is called wavelength. Its can be also defined as the distance between two successive crests or trough points in wave form.
