Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = 6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J

Total kinetic energy after
= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J

Kinetic energy before:

E = 0.5mv^2 + 0.5mv^2

= 0.5*2*20^2 + 0.5*3*(-10)^2

= 400 + 150

= 550J

Kinetic energy after:

E = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5*2*(-5)^2

= 25J

Kinetic energy lost during the collision:

E = 550 - 25

= 525J

A stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.

A) x = 41t
The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport. True False

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

True. Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.

Explanation:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Considering how the parts of a system work together and affect one another, other systems, and the environment is called _______

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

before I answer a question I think very deeply and try my best, hope it helps...

As you know there are many different types of systems. For example, The solar system, galaxies, quantum systems, atoms, molecules, orchestras, nervous system, etc, things you may not have even considered a system. To get to the basis of a system we must first understand what a system is then we will show some examples. A system is a group of Parts (parts could mean anything even dark energy and dark matter) that work together to accomplish something. For example, your body has many many trillions of cells that all try to accomplish the functions of humans which include thinking, moving, breathing, circulation, etc. Cells in turn are a system that have counterparts called organelles that accomplish harvesting energy, making new proteins, getting rid of waste, and so on. These are some systems which we highly dependent upon.

Well i hope it helped

A projectile is fired at v 0 = 381.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 73.5 ∘ , with respect to the horizontal. Assume that air friction wi

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of projection, vo = 381 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 73.5°

The formula for the range is

$R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}$

$R=\frac{381^{2}Sin147 }{9.8}$

R = 8067.4 m

Range in shorten by 34.1 %

So, the new range is

R' = 8067.4 - 34.1 x 8067.4/100

R' = 5316.4 m
