Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of  

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved

marusya05 [52]

Answer: a) 6.67cm/s b) 1/2

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision. Since the second body was initially at rest this means the initial velocity of the body is "zero".

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities respectively

m1 = 5.0g m2 = 10.0g u1 = 20.0cm/s u2 = 0cm/s

Since momentum = mass × velocity

The conservation of momentum of the body will be

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Note that the body will move with a common velocity (v) after collision which will serve as the velocity of each object after collision.

5(20) + 10(0) = (5+10)v

100 + 0 = 15v

v = 100/15

v = 6.67cm/s

Therefore the velocity of each object after the collision is 6.67cm/s

b) kinectic energy of the 10.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×10×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

kinectic energy of the 5.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×5×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

= 111.22Joules

Fraction of the initial kinetic transferred to the 10g object will be

111.22/222.44

= 1/2

Which statement describes a property of a magnet? A. It attracts ferrous materials. B. It could have only one pole (north or sou
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

It attracts ferrous materials

Explanation:

A magnet attracts ferrous materials A ferrous materials are metallic substances or conductors that can conduct heat and electricity. Example of this ferrous materials includes iron, metal etc. Since magnets only can attracts metallic substance to itself, then we can also conclude that they attract ferrous materials since ferrous materials. possesses properties of a metal.

Magnets possesses both north and south poles.

The same of the bar magnets are known to repel each other while unlike poles attract each other.

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.
OLga [1]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

 F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N      ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2

P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²
