Options:

(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

(d) Neither A nor B are true.

Answer:

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.

In an inelastic collision:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.

Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -25 μC at y1 = +0.18 m and a positive point charge q2 at

dedylja [7]

Answer:

$50.91 \mu C$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the net force exerted on q is known, we have the values and positions for $q_{1}$ and q. So, making use of coulomb's law, we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by $q_{1}$ on q. Then we can know the magnitude of the force exerted by $q_{2}$ about q, finally this will allow us to know the magnitude of $q_{2}$

$q_{1}$ exerts a force on q in +y direction, and $q_{2}$ exerts a force on q in -y direction.

$F_{1}=\frac{kq_{1} q }{d^2}\\F_{1}=\frac{(8.99*10^9)(25*10^{-6}C)(8.4*10^{-6}C)}{(0.18m)^2}=58.26 N\\$

The net force on q is:

$F_{T}=F_{1} - F_{2}\\25N=58.26N-F_{2}\\F_{2}=58.26N-25N=33.26N\\\mid F_{2} \mid=\frac{kq_{2}q}{d^2}$

Rewriting for $q_{2}$ :

$q_{2}=\frac{F_{2}d^2}{kq}\\q_{2}=\frac{33.26N(0.34m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{C^2}(8.4*10^{-6}C)}=50.91*10^{-6}C=50.91 \mu C$

Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m=7.349(10)^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.9(10)^{8} m$ is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to $F$ :

$F=m.a_{C}$ (2)

Where $a_{C}$ is the centripetal acceleration given by:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Being $V$ the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

$m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (4)

Simplifying:

$a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (5)

Making (5)=(3):

$\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (6)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$ (7)

$V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}}$ (8)

Finally:

$V=1010.92 m/s$

Why do nonmetals have a negative oxidation number

galina1969 [7]

Oxygen has a higher electro negativity that then Sulfur, so Sulfur will " lose" electrons to Oxygen and that is the electrons will be pulled closer to the Oxygen causing, for oxygen to have a negative charge and the Sulfur to have a positive charge
