A 3.5 kg object moving at 8.1 m/s in the positive direction of an x axis has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object

of mass M, initially at rest. After the collision the object of mass M has a velocity of 5.2 m/s in the positive direction of the x axis. What is mass M?

Answer:

So the mass of the second object M will be 1.951 kg    

Explanation:

We have given mass of the first object m_1=3.5kg and its velocity v_1=8.1m/sec

Mass of the second object m_2=M  it is at rest so its velocity v_2=0

From conservation of momentum we know that

Initial momentum = final momentum

So m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

3.5\times 8.1+M\times 0=(3.5+M)5.2

28.35=18.2+5.2M

M = 1.951 kg

In what way would a digital thermometer be preferable to those from a liquid-based thermometer?
garik1379 [7]
Reading a digital thermometer is more preferable because you can just easily read the measurement from a screen, a number will just show in a screen as compared to a liquid-based thermometer where you still have to read the measurement by counting the markers in the thermometer. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.055 Ï and is supplied by a 12.0 v battery which has a 0.0305 Ï int
LiRa [457]
12 V is the f.e.m. \epsilon of the battery. The potential difference that is applied to the motor is actually the fem minus the voltage drop on the internal resistance r:
\epsilon - Ir
this is equal to the voltage drop on the resistance of the motor R:
RI
so we can write:
\epsilon - Ir = RI
and using r=0.0305~\Omega and R=0.055~\Omega we can find the current I:
I= \frac{\epsilon}{R+r}=140~A

If you separate vector B into its components. How many components will it have? Those components will be called?
Inessa [10]

The vector B will have two components and those components will be called resultant vectors.

<h3>What is a component vector?</h3>

A component vector is a unit vector that represents a given vector in a particular direction.

A vector can be represented in x - direction and y - direction.

  • x - component of the vector = Bcosθ
  • y - component of the vector = Bsinθ

Thus, the vector B will have two components and those components will be called resultant vectors.

A descent vehicle landing on the moon has a vertical velocity toward the surface of the moon of 29.6 m/s. At the same time, it h
inessss [21]

If the vertical component is 29.6 m/s down, and the horizontal component
is 54.8 m/s parallel to the surface, then the magnitude of the slanty vector is

   √(29.6² + 54.8²) = √(876.16 + 3003.04) = √3879.2  =  62.28 m/s .

That's 139 mph !  Wow !
