Momentum P is given by:
P = mv

Given: m₁ = 62 kg, m₂ = 78.1 kg, v₁ = ?, v₂ = 0 m/s, v₁₊₂ = 1.29 m/s

before:
P = m_1 v_1 * m_2 v_2 = m_1 v_1

after:
P = (m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2}

Since momentum is conserved, the momentum before the collision must be equal to the momentum after the collision.

P = m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2} \\ v_1 =  \frac{(m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2}}{m_1}

Solve for v₁.

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains air
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

the value of the final pressure is 0.168 atm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let p₁ be initial pressure, v₁ be initial volume.

After expansion, p₂ is final pressure and v₂ is final volume.

So using the following equations;

p₁v₁ = nRT

p₂v₂ = nRT

hence, p₁v₁ = p₂v₂

we find p₂

p₂ = p₁v₁ / v₂

given that; initial volume v₁ = 0.175 m³, Initial pressure p₁ = 0.350 atm,

final volume v₂ = 0.365 m³

we substitute

p₂ = ( 0.350 atm × 0.175 m³ ) / 0.365 m³

p₂ = 0.06125 atm-m³ / 0.365 m³

p₂ = 0.168 atm

Therefore, the value of the final pressure is 0.168 atm

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri
belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A
