Explanation :

Voltaic cells are an electro chemical cell in which chemical reactions occurs to produce electrical energy. Its parts are :

(i) At anode oxidation occurs.

(ii) At cathode reduction occurs.

(iii) A salt bridge.

(iv) External circuit.

(v) Load.

Suppose a voltaic cell is made up of $ZnSO_4$ and $CuSO_4$ . Here zinc can lose electron more rapidly as that of copper. Oxidation of zinc occurs and is called as anode. So, this is a negative terminal.

On the other hand, copper receives electron and hence become cathode. So, this is a positive terminal.

Hence, electrons flow form Zinc to copper i.e. from negative terminal to positive terminal.

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So $mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}$ .

Kinetic energy of system at first: $\frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}$ . After: $\frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}$ . The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)

Nitella [24]

It is most likely true that there was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells because when blood cells are put in a hypotonic solution such as pure water, the little to no salt concentration in the water causes the cells to swell and burst. This would occur because the water would try to dilute the solution inside of the blood cell and which would, therefore, cause it to burst. Hope this helps!
