This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s

Two charged objects, A and B, are exerting an electric force on each other. What will happen if the charge on A is increased?
ozzi

Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.

A 332 kg mako shark is moving in the positive direction at a constant velocity of 2.30 m/s along the bottom of a sea when it enc
Digiron [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. By definition we know that the initial moment must be equivalent to the final moment of the two objects therefore

p_1 = p_2

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+ m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of each object

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2}= Final velocity of each object

Since the initial velocity relative to the metal tank is at rest, that velocity will be zero. And considering that in the end, the speed of the two bodies is the same, the equation would become

m_1u_1 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v_f = \frac{m_1u_1}{ (m_1+m_2)}

Replacing we have that,

v_f = \frac{(332)(2.3)}{ (332+19.5)}

v_f = 2.17 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the shark immediately after it swallows the tank is 2.17m/s

Which of the following is a true regarding current in an external circuit​
nata0808 [166]

The flow of an alternating current switches direction when a generator's terminals change its charge is true regarding current in an external circuit

<u>Explanation: </u>

Two types of currents, one of them is direct current (DC), constant charging current in one direction. The current in the DC circuits shifts in a constant direction. The amount of electricity can vary, but it always flows from one point to another.

Next is alternating current (AC), the movement of the electric charge periodically changes direction. It is the form most often provided to enterprises and households. The usual form of AC wave is the sine wave. Some applications use different wave-forms, e.g. B. triangular or square waves.
