g Two masses are involved in a collision on an axis (one dimensional). One mass is six times the mass of the second. Both masses
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s   (→)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s   (→)

e = 1  

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Explanation:

m₁ = m

m₂ = 6m₁ = 6m

v₁i = 4 m/s

v₂i = 2 m/s

v₁f = ((m₁ – m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i +  ((2m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₁f = ((m – 6m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) +  ((2*6m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)  

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s   (→)

v₂f = ((2m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i +  ((m₂ – m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₂f = ((2m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((6m -m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s   (→)

e = - (v₁f - v₂f) / (v₁i - v₂i)   ⇒   e = - (0.5714 - 2.5714) / (4 - 2) = 1  

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

A refrigerator
andrew11 [14]

From the definition of the first Law of thermodynamics we know that heat flows from the hottest object to the coldest. What has a refrigerator inside is a refrigerant that is traveling through some heat exchangers, driven by pumps and that allows the exchange of heat between a 'Hot' tank and then transport it to a certain place, eject it and return to extract more heat. In this way the refrigerant removes heat from a hot region to a cold region and heat enters said hot region. Since the heat extracted is greater than that of the medium, the heat from the inside flows outward.

The correct answer is B.

If a force of 12 N is applied to an object
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{12}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Determine a submarines acceleration if it's initial velocity is 9.0 m/s and it travels 1.54 km in 2 min
julia-pushkina [17]
acceleration=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\\\ \Delta t=2min=120s\\\\s=1,54km=1540m\\\\&#10;acceleration=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{\Delta t}\\\\&#10;\Delta v=\frac{s}{t}\\&#10;v_{f}-v_{i}=\frac{s}{t}\\&#10;v_{f}=\frac{1540}{120}+9=21,83\frac{m}{s}\\\\&#10;accleration=\frac{21,83-9}{120}=\frac{12,83}{120}=\boxed{0,107\frac{m}{s}}
