Before colliding, the momentum of block A is -100 kgm/, and block B is -150 kgm/s. After, block A has a momentum -200 kg*m/s.

What is the momentum of block B afterward? PLEASE HELP

Answer:

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

Before collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A1}$ = $-100\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B = $p_{B1}$ = $-150\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

After collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A2}$ = $-200\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision $p_{B2}$ .

$p_{A1}+p_{B1}=p_{A2}+p_{B2}$

Plugging in the given values and simplifying.

$-100-150=-200+p_{B2}$

$-250=-200+p_{B2}$

Adding 200 to both sides.

$200-250=-200+p_{B2}+200$

$-50=p_{B2}$

∴ $p_{B2}=-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Elis [28]

The answer is B.
She can measure the mass of the water, marble and the graduated cylinder with the balance.
The volume of the water can be shown on the marked graduated cylinder, the volume of the marble can be measured by the volume difference of the water before and after the marble is put in.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)

If we know that $\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$ , then the resulting pressure of the system is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}$

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

You move a 25 n object 4 meters. find the work you did

d1i1m1o1n [39]

In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>

Using the right amount of significant figures, calculate the answer to the following problem, 215.5+101.02555

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

This is how I figured it out:

215.5 rounded to one significant figure is 200
101.02555 rounded to one significant figure is 100.
200 + 100 = 300.

Hope this helps!
