Answer:

1.67 m/s

Explanation:

Since this is an inelastic collision (the block and the arrow stick together after the collision), we can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum:

p_i = p_f\\m_a v_a + m_b v_b = (m_a + m_b) v

where

m_a = 2.0 kg is the mass of the arrow

v_a = 10 m/s is the initial speed of the arrow

m_b = 10 kg is the mass of the block

v_b = 0 is the initial speed of the block

v = ? is the final speed of the arrow+block

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find:

v=\frac{m_a v_a + m_b v_b}{m_a +m_b}=\frac{(2.0 kg)(10 m/s)+0}{2.0 kg+10.0 kg}=1.67 m/s

Yes, the answer is in fact C. All of the above.

Variable stars are stars that change in brightness. The change could be due to the physical change in the star or it could also be caused when another star crosses another, or in other words eclipse.

Explain why the total positive charge in every atom of an element is always the<br> same.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

anastassius [24]

The official web site of the Nobel Prize explains that Marie Curie’s chemistry prize was partly for her discovery that the radioactivity of a substance is unaffected when it undergoes a chemical reaction. The discovery implied was that, Radioactivity involves Radioactivity involves only neutrons.

Explanation:

  • The official web site of the Nobel Prize explains that Marie Curie’s chemistry prize was partly for her discovery that the radioactivity of a substance is unaffected when it undergoes a chemical reaction. The discovery implied was that, Radioactivity involves only neutrons.
  • Marie Curie studied about the radiation of all compounds containing the known radioactive elements, including uranium and thorium, which she later discovered that they were radioactive.
  • she discovered the following results,
  • the exact measurement of the strength of the radiation from uranium;
  • the intensity of the radiation was found to be proportional to the amount of uranium or thorium in the compound .
  • the ability to emit radiation is not dependent on the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule;
  • it must be linked to the interior of the atom itself which is a revolutionary discovery.

Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night
Sliva [168]

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.
