4) If an object of 40 kg is moving east at 20 m/s and collides with a 20 kg object moving along the same vector at 10 m/s, what

will be the velocity of the smaller object if the larger object slows to 10 m/s?

Answer:

v_2_2=30m/s

Explanation:

In all collisions the total linear momentum of the system is conserved. Therefore:

p_i=p_f\\\\Where:\\\\p_i=m_1_1 v_1_1+m_2_1 v_2_1\\\\p_f=m_1_2 v_1_2+m_2_2  v_2_2

So, p_i represents the linear momentum before the collision and p_f represents the linear momentum after the collision. Now, let:

m_1_1=Mass\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} bigger\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}before\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision\\v_1_1=Velocity \hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} bigger\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}before\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision\\m_2_1=Mass\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} smaller\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}before\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision\\v_2_1=Velocity \hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} smaller\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}before\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision

m_1_2=Mass\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} bigger\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}after\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision\\v_1_2=Velocity \hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} bigger\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}after\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision\\m_2_2=Mass\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} smaller\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}after\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision\\

v_2_2=Velocity \hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} smaller\hspace{3} o bject\hspace{3}after\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}collision

According to the data provided by the problem:

m_1_1=40kg\\v_1_1=20m/s\\m_2_1=20kg\\v_2_2=10m/s\\m_1_2=40kg\\v_1_2=10m/s\\m_2_2=20kg\\v_2_2=$\text{?}

Replacing the data into the linear momentum equation and solving for v_2_2:

m_1_1 v_1_1+m_2_1v_2_1=m_1_2 v_1_2+m_2_2  v_2_2\\\\(40)(20)+(20)(10)=(40)(10)+20(v_2_2)\\\\800+200=400+20(v_2_2)\\\\20(v_2_2)=600\\\\ (v_2_2)=\frac{600}{20} =30m/s

Thus, the velocity of the smaller object  after the collision is 30m/s

Answer:

The smaller object will move at 30 m/s

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum,

Momentum of objects before collision = momentum of objects after collision.

m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{3}+m_{2}v_{4}

where m_{1}, m_{2} , v_{1}and v_{2} are the masses  and velocities of the objects 1 and 2 respectively before collision.

40\times 20 + 20\times 10 = 40\times 10 + 20\times v_{4}

1000= 400 + 20v_{4}

v_{4}=30m/s

Hence, the object will move at 30 m/s

The diploid number of chromosomes in the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is 10. Knowing this, answer the following question
lukranit [14]

Answer:

10 chromosomes/sister chromatids

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.

Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.

Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.

N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.

What is the approximate temperature of the troposphere, mesosphere, and stratosphere.​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Heat is produced in the process of the formation of Ozone and this heat is responsible for temperature increases from an average -60°F (-51°C) at tropopause to a maximum of about 5°F (-15°C) at the top of the stratosphere. This increase in temperature with height means warmer air is located above cooler air.

Easy question. Will give brainliest
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The commensal relationship between the sharks and remoras can be described as although remoras consume parasites, sharks with remoras show no better health or growth than sharks without remoras.

Explanation:

A commensal relationship refers to a relationship where two or more organisms in a habitat neither benefit or harm each other.

  • The second option infers that the remoras harm the sharks. This is a parasitic relationship.
  • The third option infers that the sharks are harmed by the remoras because the sharks depend on something that the remoras are limiting. This is also a parasitic relationship.
  • The fourth option infers a commensal relationship, but falsely describes it. The relationship described by this option is a parasitic relationship (one benefits, the other does not).

Therefore, the answer is the first option: Although remoras consume parasites, sharks with remoras show no better health or growth than sharks without remoras.
