Answer:
B. 1500 kg*m/s
Explanation:
Momentum p = m* v
In any type of collision, the total momentum is preserved!
The total momentum before and the total momentum after the collision is the same. We know the mass and speed after the collision so we can calculate the total momentum.
p1 + p2 =
m1*v1 + m2*v2
m1 = me = 300 kg
v1 = 3 m/s
v2 = 2 m/s
Substitute the given numbers:
300*3 + 300+2
900 + 600
1500 kg*m/s, which is answer B.
Jumping on a trampoline is a classic example of conservation of energy, from potential into kinetic. It also shows Hooke's laws and the spring constant. Furthermore, it verifies and illustrates each of Newton's three laws of motion.
<u>Explanation</u>
When we jump on a trampoline, our body has kinetic energy that changes over time. Our kinetic energy is greatest, just before we hit the trampoline on the way down and when you leave the trampoline surface on the way up. Our kinetic energy is 0 when you reach the height of your jump and begin to descend and when are on the trampoline, about to propel upwards.
Potential energy changes along with kinetic energy. At any time, your total energy is equal to your potential energy plus your kinetic energy. As we go up, the kinetic energy converts into potential energy.
Hooke's law is another form of potential energy. Just as the trampoline is about to propel us up, your kinetic energy is 0 but your potential energy is maximized, even though we are at a minimum height. This is because our potential energy is related to the spring constant and Hooke's Law.
The answer is B (The second one). I'm not sure though.
They both involve atoms. Other than that they're the exact opposite of each other. Fusion is putting atoms together. Fission is taking them apart.
