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 woman drives 6 miles, accelerating uniformly from rest to 70 mph. How long does it take for her to reach 70 mph?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Using the two kinematic equations that can be used for this problem are:
Vf = Vi + at and d=Vit +(1/2)*at^2
Since Vi (initial velocity) = 0 

The equations can further be simplified where a is the acceleration, t is the time, Vf is the final velocity which is 70 miles per hour and d is 6 miles

Vf = at
70 = at
a = 70/t---equation 1

d=(1/2)*a*(t^2)
6 = (1/2)*a*(t^2) ---equation 2

Substituting equation 1 to equation 2.
6= (1/2)*(70/t)*(t^2)
6= 35t
t= 0.17142 hours or 10.28571 mins or 617.14 sec

How can people take picture fpr black hole?
Jet001 [13]

We actually cant, really. Black Holes are really very powerful and don't just happen in some random place in the cosmos. We have got shots of Black holes that you cannot even see, but all the other big black holes that look like something straight of a sci-fi movie that look real, are really just photo- shopped. good question. Hope This Helped.

I have always wondered if the saying it was hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk could 20 points be true. Please describe ho
ikadub [295]

Answer:

This is one of the hottest summers America has ever seen and Jeremiah Warren is taking advantage of the heat wave and doing a little cooking…in his car!

It was about 98 or 99 degrees in Texas, so Jeremiah thought he’d head outside to see if it was hot enough to actually cook food.  He buttered up a frying pan on his dashboard and filled it with an egg, cookie dough, a hot dog and bacon (mmm…bacon!).  He set up another frying pan on the sidewalk and a few hours later he came back for a mid-day snack.
