The answer is b.) the momentum before the collision is greater than the momentum after the collision

Answer: A.) The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision.

Explanation:

From the Law of conservation of momentum, in a closed system, the net momentum is conserved.

Be it elastic collision or inelastic collision, whenever there is no external force acting in a system, the net momentum is always conserved.

Thus, initial momentum before collision is equal to the final momentum after collision.

Correct option is A.

A spring that is compressed 14.5 cm from its equilibrium position stores 2.99 J of potential energy. Determine the spring consta
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

284.4233 N/m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm

U = Potential energy = 2.99 J

The potential energy of a spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Rearranging to get the value of k

\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 2.99}{0.145^2}\\\Rightarrow k=284.4233\ N/m

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

What will be the final temperature if a 4.00 g silver ring at 41.0◦C if it gives off 18.0 J of heat to the surroundings? The spe
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Final temperature, T_f=21.85^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of silver ring, m = 4 g

Initial temperature, T_i=41^{\circ}C

Heat released, Q = -18 J (as heat is released)

Specific heat capacity of silver, c=0.235\ J/g\ C

To find,

Final temperature

Solution,

The expression for the specific heat is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

Q=mc(T_f-T_i)

T_f=\dfrac{-Q}{mc}+T_i

T_f=\dfrac{-18}{4\times 0.235}+41

T_f=21.85^{\circ}

So, the final temperature of silver is 21.85 degrees Celsius.

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration
