Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800J of energy.

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the first piece be v1 and that of the second piece be v1 and also let the masses be m1 and m2 respectively.

m2 = 2m1

From the principles of conservation of momentum

m1v1 = m2v2

m1v1 = 2m1v2

Dividing through by m1

That is v1 = 2v2

v2 = 1/2v1

Total kinetic energy = 8400J

1/2m1v1² + 1/2m2v2² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/2(2m1) × (1/2v1)² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/4m1v1² = 8400

Let 1/2m1v1 = K1

K1 + 1/2K1 = 8400

3/2K1 = 8400

K1 = 8400× 2/3 = 5600J

K2 = 8400 – 5600 = 2800J

Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:

0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂

M₁v₁ = M₂v₂

let the second piece be the heavier mass, then

M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂

v₁  = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁

From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:

¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400

K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400

Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁

1.5 K.E₁ = 8400

K.E₁ = 8400/1.5

K.E₁ = 5600 J

K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J

Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

120 miles

Explanation:

Speed = distance traveled/ time taken.

Distance traveled = speed * time taken

Speed = 40 miles per hour, time = 3 hours.

Distance = 40*3

The train's traveled distance is 120 miles.

Geological and atmospheric changes happening over a ______ time scale can cause______ extinctions.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Long short

Explanation:

1

Dogs that are bigger are selected to be parents.

2

The parents are bred together, and their offspring will be different sizes.

3

The biggest offspring will be selected and bred together.

4

This cycle continues until the dogs have been selectively bred to be bigger than the current world record size.

5

Selective breeders need to ensure that they are not also selecting for disadvantageous traits, like genetic limb defects.

Consider light reflecting off of a mirror. Now think about light reflecting off a solid yellow vase. Type a paragraph that compa
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The types of reflection are; specular and diffuse. This depends on the fine or smooth nature of the surface where reflection occurs.

A mirror has a smoother surface than that of a yellow vase. So there would be a specular reflection when light strikes a mirror, but a diffuse reflection when it strikes the solid yellow vase.

Explanation:

Reflection is one of the properties of light waves which can be observed when light strikes a smooth plane surface. It is the throwing of light back through its initial path. In reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

There are two types of reflection; specular and diffuse. Specular reflection occurs when light rays are reflected from a fine smooth surface, while diffuse reflection is observed when light rays are reflected in all directions due to the rough nature of the surface. Comparing the surfaces of a mirror and vase, that of a mirror is smoother than that of a vase. So there would be a specular reflection when light strikes a mirror, but a diffuse reflection when it strikes a solid yellow vase.
