Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of object 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of object 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of object 2, m₂ = 6 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = -1 m/s (it is moving in left)

Since, the collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the system after the collision. Let it is E. So,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_1^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (2\ m/s)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\ kg\times (-1\ m/s)^2

E = 9 J

So, the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

The rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is measured in which of the following units?
Over [174]
The correct option is D.
Lumen is used to quantify the amount of total light energy that a source is putting out in all direction, thus, it refers to luminous output of a light source. Initial lumen refers to the luminosity of a light when it was first turned on; the luminosity is highest at this point.

Pumping of groundwater in California most effectively: Select one:
maria [59]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Ans- A, causes sediments in aquifers that are emptied to compact and the ground above it to sink.

This is one of the major problems for California nowadays. Due to excessive groundwater pumping to satisfy the demand of huge population the aquifers are drying, hence compacting and for that the land above sinks.

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the
tatuchka [14]
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
F=12 N
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
T \cos \alpha -F=0
T \sin \alpha -W=
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
\tan \alpha =  \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04
From which we find
\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N
