Answer:

1 m/s

Explanation:

Using law of conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)vf , where

m1 = mass of object at rest, 20 kg

v1 = initial velocity of object at rest, 0 m/s

vf = final velocity of the bodies

m2 = mass of object in motion, 10 kg

v2 = initial velocity of object in motion, 3 m/s

On substituting, we have

(20 * 0) + (10 * 3) = (20 + 10) vf

0 + 30 = 30 vf

vf = 30 / 30

vf = 1 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bodies after hitting each other is 1 m/s

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km

Fossils are rare because certain conditions are needed to preserve an organism in order for it to fossilize, and those condition
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The least of the conditions that can result in fossilization would be <u>when an organism is a prey to several species.</u>

Fossils are remains or traces of organisms that have been geological preserved and a prey is an organism that is often hunted and serves as food to bigger organisms. <em>When an organism is eaten, the probability of it becoming a fossil becomes low. Unless such an organism is usually partially eaten by predators, there would not be any remains, let alone being fossilized.</em>

The correct option is D.
