Define
m₁ = 0.650 kg the mass of the fish leaping to the right.
u₁ = 15.0 m/s is its velocity.
m₂ = 0.950 kg, the mass of the fish leaping to the left
u₂ = 13.5 m/s is its velocity.

Let v = the mutual velocity after inelastic impact.
For conservation of momentum,
m₁u₁ + m₂(-u₂) = (m₁+m₂)v
0.65*15 - 0.95*13.5 = (0.65 + 0.95)*v
v = - 3.075/1.6
   = - 1.9219 m/s 

The change in KE of the 0.65 kg fish is
(1/2)*(0.65 kg)*(15 + 1.9219)² = 93.06 J

Answer: 93.1 J

The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity  = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
 The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

The Sun is going down, and most of the land is dark, still we can see silhouettes and outlines of objects because some light is still scattered in the atmosphere. I hope this helps you.

A 3.0 \Omega Ω resistor is connected in parallel to a 6.0 \Omega Ω resistor, and the combination is connected in series with a 4
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The power dissipated in the 3 Ω resistor is P= 5.3watts.

Explanation:

After combine the 3 and 6 Ω resistor in parallel, we have an 2 Ω and a 4 Ω resistor in series.

The resultating resistor is of Req=6Ω.

I= V/Req

I= 2A

the parallel resistors have a potential drop of Vparallel=4 volts.

I(3Ω) = Vparallel/R(3Ω)

I(3Ω)= 1.33A

P= I(3Ω)² * R(3Ω)

P= 5.3 Watts
