Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hi!


The correct option would be A) Mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.


When Darwin proposed the idea of biological evolution, which revolved around the concept that favorable genes are naturally selected into a species to ensure survival, his theory was criticized as during that time there was the idea that individual traits of two parents would present themselves as a blend in the offspring.

Gregor Mendel's theory of inheritance supported Darwin's idea as it dealt with the transmission of traits in generations through entities called genes, which were present in pairs for a particular trait.


Hope this helps!

Which statement accurately describes a relationship between parts of the
sammy [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

C. There are trillions of galaxies in the universe.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A. is wrong as nebulae are found inside galaxies and inside the universe, not inside stars.

B. is wrong because there are trillions of galaxies in the universe, not the latter.

D. The solar system consists of the eight planets, the Sun, comets, meteors, dwarf planets, and is inside the Milky Way galaxy and thus cannot have galaxies inside it.

Assuming acceleration due to gravity of the moon is constant and there’s no initial velocity in the mans jump we can use one of the kinematic equations. x(final)=x(initial)+(1/2)gt^2. Plug in known values. 0=10-(1.62/2)t^2. The value 1.62 is acceleration of gravity on the moon. Now simply solve for t. t=3.513

The space shuttle is accelerated off its launch pad to a velocity of 525 m/s in 18.0 seconds.
Eva8 [605]

Answer: 29.17m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity = 525 m/s

Time = 18 seconds

Acceleration = change in Velocity with time

Using the motion equation:

v = u + at

Where v = final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity and t = time

Plugging our values

525 = 0 + a × 18

525 = 18(a)

a = 525 / 18

a = 29.166666

a = 29.17 m/s^2

taurus [48]

The force required to start an object sliding across a uniform horizontal surface is larger than the force required to keep the object sliding at a constant velocity once it starts.

The magnitudes of the required forces are different in these situations because the force of kinetic friction is less than the force of static friction. <em>(d)</em>
