Answer:

A) 10 m/s

Explanation:

We know that according to conservation of momentum,

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2  ..............(equation 1)

where m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies, v1 and v2 are initial velocity before collision and u1 and u2 are final velocities after collision respectively.

From the given data

If truck and car are two bodies

truck :       m1 = 2000 Kg           v1 = 5 m/s                u1 = 0

car    :        m2 = 1000 kg           v2 = 0                      u2 = ?

final velocity of truck and initial velocity of car are static because the objects were at rest in the respective time.

substituting the values in equation 1, we get

(2000 x 5) + 0 = 0 + (1000 x u2)

u2 = \frac{2000}{1000} x 5

    = 10 m/s

Hence after collision, car moves at a velocity of 10 m/s

What effect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?
Lady_Fox [76]
Decreasing the distance between two objects having a considerable mass would increase the attraction on gravitation. The reverse is true that if you separate or inrease the objects distance would substantially decrease their gravitational attraction. Most object in our planet is held by its gravitational force towards it's center.

What is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? what is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? pressure
White raven [17]
Mathematically, relation between force, area and pressure is given by...
Pressure = force / area


hence, pressure is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to area.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be     b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be

         b e a f c
