Answer:

c. vf is greator than v2, but less than v1

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies act upon one another, their total momentum remains constant.

In a system of colliding bodies the total momentum of the system just before the collision is the same as the total momentum just after the collision.  

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is conserved are called elastic collision.

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.  If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

<em>The above scenario is a perfectly inelastic collision. The initial velocity of particle 1 was greater than particle 2 before collision. After collision, its velocity will reduce to a final velocity vf as it transfers some of its kinetic energy to particle 2; whereas, the velocity of particle 2 will increase to a final velocity vf as it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of particle 1.</em>

Therefore,

a. vf = v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

b. vf is less than v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

c. vf is greater than v2, but less than v1 is correct.

d. vf = v1 is wrong because vf is less than v1

A cheerleader lifts his 79.4 kg partner straight up off the ground a distance of 0.945 m before releasing her. the acceleration
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
To find out how much work he has done, we must first calculate force using the force formula (F= Mass*Acceleration). In this case, mass is 79.4 and acceleration is the gravitational constant of 9.8m/s, plugging this into the formula we find that force is 778.12Newtons. Next, we need to multiply force by the distance to get the amount of energy used to lift his partner once. Which is 778.12 * .945 = 735.32. Finally, we need to multiply 735.32 by the number of times he lifts his partner, 33, to get 735.32 * 33 to find that the energy he has expended 24,265.56 Joules of energy.

PLEASE HELP FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST The sentence, "The popcorn kernels popped twice as fast as the last batch," is a(n) _____.
beks73 [17]

The answer is 3. Observation

Explanation:

The sentence "The popcorn kernels popped twice as fast as the last batch" is the result of observing or measuring the time popcorn kernels require to pop. In this context, the sentence best matches the word "observation" which the term used in the Scientific method to refer to statements that are the result of studying a phenomenon, either through the senses such as sight or through precise instruments that allow scientists to understand numerically variables such as time, speed, temperature, etc.

A moving object must have which type of energy
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. ... Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. For example, a flying squirrel might collide with a stationary chipmunk.
