two test cars of equal mass moving towards each other collide on a horiontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, car A h

as a constant speed 20m/s while car B has a constant speed of 12m/s. After the collision, the two bodies are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A+B) after the collision?

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

If a 16 N net force makes an object accelerate at 4 m/s2, what is the mass of the object?
12345 [234]

Answer:

4 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 4 m/s^2

Force = 16 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 16 / 4

mass = 4 kg

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to
madam [21]

The correct answer to the question is : B) 132 Joules.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the gold m = 3 gram.

The initial temperature of the gold T = 21 degree celsius.

The final temperature of the gold  T' = 363 degree celsius.

Hence, the change in temperature  dT = T' - T

                                                          = 363 - 21 degree celsius

                                                          = 342 degree celsius.

The specific heat of the gold is given as c = 0.129\ J/g^0C

We are asked to calculate the heat required ( dQ ) to raise the temperature of gold.

The heat required for this is calculated as -

                                   dQ = mcDT

                                         = 3 × 342 × 0.129 J

                                         = 132.354 J

                                         ≈ 132 J

Hence, the correct answer is 132 J.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.<br><br> True<br> False
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

True. Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.

Explanation:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.
