The correct answer for the first one is A) Breaking rocks into smaller pieces. The correct answer to the second one is A) It has more energy. Hope this helps.
A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially.
Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour
Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours.
Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours.
We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour
= Total distance traveled/ total time taken
= 
Answer:
10miles/second
Explanation:
Change in velocity of the bird is expressed as the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity of the body.
Change in velocity = Final velocity - initial velocity
Since the bird takes off from the tree, the initial velocity of the bird = 0miles/sec
Final velocity = 10miles/secs
Change in velocity = 10-0
Change in velocity = 10miles/second

The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r"
The equation for kinetic energy is
E = 1/2MV^2.
So the energy for the system prior to collision is
0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5
The energy after the collision is
0.5rv^2
Setting the two equations equal to each other
0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2
r + 1 = rv^2
(r + 1)/r = v^2
sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v
The momentum prior to collision is
-1r + 1
Momentum after collision is
rv
Setting the equations equal to each other
rv = -1r + 1
rv +1r = 1
r(v+1) = 1
Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.
sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v
r(v+1) = 1
Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r.
r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1
r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1
r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1
r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r
r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2
r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2
r = 1 - 2r
3r = 1
r = 1/3
So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>
