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.

Answer:

The answer is to insulate Earth's surface temperature.

Explanation:

Clouds inhibit the outflow of terrestrial radiation. This acts to insulate Earth's surface temperature, keeping it warmer at night and cooler in the day.

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 2.50×10^-10m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
katrin [286]

To solve this exercise, we will first proceed to calculate the electric force given by the charge between the proton and the electron (it). From the Force we will use Newton's second law that will allow us to find the acceleration of objects. The Coulomb force between two charges is given as

F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge of proton and electron

r = Distance

Replacing we have that,

F = (9*10^9)(\frac{(1.602*10^{-19})^2}{2.5*10^{-10}})

F = 3.6956*10^{-9}N

The force between the electron and proton is calculated. From Newton's third law the force exerted by the electron on proton is same as the force exerted by the proton on electron.

The acceleration of the electron is given as

a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}

a_e = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{9.11*10^{-31}}

a_e = 4.0566*10^{21}m/s^2

The acceleration of the proton is given as,

a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}

a_p = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{1.672*10^{-27}}

a_p = 2.21*10^{18}m/s^2

Why does a magnet attract a steel nail
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.
