Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

System of two particle

Ball A has mass

Ma = m

Ball A is moving to the right (positive x axis) with velocity of

Va = 2v •i

Ball B has a mass

Mb = 3m

Ball B is moving to left (negative x axis) with a velocity of

Vb = -v •i

Velocity of centre of mass Vcm?

Velocity of centre of mass can be calculated using

Vcm = 1/M ΣMi•Vi

Where M is sum of mass

M = M1 + M2 + M3 +...

Therefore,

Vcm=[1/(Ma + Mb)] × (Ma•Va +Mb•Vb

Rearranging for better understanding

Vcm = (Ma•Va + Mb•Vb) / ( Ma + Mb)

Vcm = (m•2v + 3m•-v) / (m + 3m)

Vcm = (2mv — 3mv) / 4m

Vcm = —mv / 4m

Vcm = —v / 4

Vcm = —¼V •i

The reason for people to swim easier in salt water than fresh water is because of buoyancy

Explanation:

In fresh water there is lack of minerals and has fresh water alone. The density of fresh water is 1000 kg/m³.  Hence, in fresh water  cannot exert the suitable buoyancy for the swimmer to float easier than that of salt water.

But in Salt water due to enrichment of salts  and minerals it is found that salt water has more density than fresh water. Here the salt water offers more buoyancy to the swimmer to lift him up in the water surface and to swim faster and easier than fresh water.

It is similar to that egg floats in the salt water and sinks inside the fresh water because of its own body weight.

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Lostsunrise [7]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />

An electromagnet is a device in which moving electric charges (current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. What’s one advantage
docker41 [41]
Electromagnets have certain advantages over permanent magnets. One of the major advantage is, the amount of electric current can easily be controlled, in turn, magnetic field can be controlled. Out of all the options, option D would be the best answer.

In short, Your Answer would be option D) Electromagnets can easily be turned on and off.

Hope this helps!
