Answer:

8.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

mass of clay ball  = 5kg

Speed of clay ball  = 25m/s

mass of clay ball at rest  = 10kg

speed of clay ball at rest  = 0m/s

Unknown:

Velocity after collision  = ?

Solution:

 Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:

   m1v1 + m2v2  = v(m1 + m2)

  5(25) + 10(0)  =  v (5 + 10)

         125 = 15v

           v  = 8.3m/s

What is matter? Give a grade 10/11/12 understanding.
lara [203]

Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.

Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.

Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.

Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.

Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.

These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.

The magnetic field direction and direction of induced current in a wire are related by the right hand grip rule. Since the magnetic field was upwards, the thumb points upwards and the fingers curl around it. When viewed from above, it is seen as a current flowing in the counter clockwise direction.

Based on the information in the table, which two elements are most likely in the same group, and why?
velikii [3]

Answer: bismuth and nitrogen, because they have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

The number of valence electrons in Bismuth and nitrogen are 5 and thus thus they will show similar chemical properties and thus belong to the same group.

The atomic masses of elements in a group will differ drastically.

The group number has got nothing to be the isolation year.

Thus bismuth and nitrogen belong to same group because they have the same number of valence electrons
