Answer:

a) M₂ ( the object that is stationary) b) 3 times c) the velocity is to the left

Explanation:

let the object in motion = M₁, object stationary = M₂, the initial velocity of the M₁ = U₁, since the second object is at rest U₂ = 0, final velocity of the M₁ = V₁ and final velocity for M₂ = V₂

Using conservation law of momentum:

M₁U₁ = M₁V₁ + M₂V₂  since the second body is at rest

also

V₂ = U₁ / 2  and the collision is elastic meaning

U₁ = V₂ - V₁

U₁ = U₁ / 2 - V₁

V₁ = -U₁/2

substitute V₁ into the first equation

M₁U₁ = M₁V₁ + M₂V₂

M₁U₁ = M₁ (-U₁/2) + M₂ ( U₁/2)

collect the like terms

M₁U₁ + M₁ (U₁/2) = M₂(U₁/2)

3/2(M₁ U₁) = M₂ (U₁/2)

divide both side by U₁/2

3 M₁ = M₂

b) M₂ = 3 M₁

M₂ is three times M₁

c) V₁ = -U₁/2

since V₁ is negative, the velocity will be to the left

Why can biofuels be described as renewable resources?​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Biofuel is fuel that is produced through contemporary processes from biomass, rather than by the very slow geological processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oil. Since biomass technically can be used as a fuel directly, some people use the terms biomass and biofuel interchangeably. 

Biofuel, any fuel that is derived from biomass—that is, plant or algae material or animal waste. Since such feedstock material can be replenished readily, biofuel is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas.
