6x8 = 48 feet
you can jump 48 feet on the moon
Answer:
The initial velocity of the snowball was 22.21 m/s
Explanation:
Since the collision is inelastic, only momentum is conserved. And since the snowball and the box move together after the collision, they have the same final velocity.
Let 
be the mass of the ball, and 
be its initial velocity; let 
be the mass of the box, and 
be its velocity; let 
be the final velocity after the collision, then according to the law of conservation of momentum:
.
From this we solve for , the initial velocity of the snowball:
now we plug in the numerical values 
, 
, 
, and 
to get:
The initial velocity of the snowball is 22.21 m/s.
<em>P.S: we did not take vectors into account because everything is moving in one direction—towards the west.</em>
The molecules which evaporate presumably take heat away from the liquid. So, I'd disagree with the classmate. Whether the amount of cooling would differ from the usual case wherein the molecules have different speeds is another question.
I guess the argument goes something along the lines of that the faster moving and therefore most kinetically energetic molecues evaporate and take away most heat. But if there's no faster moving molecules, 'cos they all have the same speed well, then presumably they'd all take away the same amount of heat. So, maybe the cooling would be less. No cooling though ??? Hmmmm dunno .... i think not ....
It would take 500 seconds, because 2500 divided by 5 is 500
