Answer:

4. All the momentum starts in one ball, and after the collision, it is all in the other ball.

Explanation:

All the momentum starts in the first ball (the one is moving) . When this ball collides with the second ball, the first ball stops but its momentum it is transferred to the second ball, then to the third then fourth until it reaches the very last ball. Only the last ball has momentum now because is the only one moving.

water in a cup and a kettle can have the same temperature even though the quantities are different . give reasons

jekas [21]

Answer:

The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, $T_{(equilibrium)}$ reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

$\infty M_{(environ)} \times c_{(environ)} \times (T_2 - T_1) = m_{1} \times c_{(water)} \times (T_3 - T_2) + m_{2} \times c_{(water)} \times (T_4 - T_2)$

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment

In a electrically natural atom of any element there are equal numbers of

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The answer is 20727w

Explanation:

The formula is below;

P = d r^2 v^3 *efficiency

In the question, it is stated that the registration ignores efficiency so we are going to ignore efficiency in the equation and use it this way;

P = d r^2 * v^3

d =4.3, r = 1.59, v =n 12.4

Therefore, P = 4.3 X 1.59^2 X 12.4^3 = 20727W

A positive charge moving up enters a magnetic field pointing out of the screen. What is the direction of the magnetic force on t

erma4kov [3.2K]

According to the right-hand thumb rule, the forefinger gives the velocity of charge, the thumb gives the magnetic force and the center finger gives the direction of magnetic field.

then, as shown in the picture, the <span>direction of the magnetic force on the charge is in the right direction.</span>
