Answer:

v₁ = 54 cm/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = m = mass of both balls

u₁ = pre-collision speed of cue ball = 82 cm/s

u₂ = pre-collision speed of 5-ball = 24 cm/s

v₁ = post-collision speed of cue ball = ?

v₂ = post-collision speed of 5-ball = 52 cm/s

Therefore,

m(82\ cm/s)+m(24\ cm/s)=m(v_1)+m(52\ cm/s)\\v_1 = 82\ cm/s + 24\ cm/s - 52\ cm/s\\

<u>v₁ = 54 cm/s</u>

Which of the following statements is true concerning mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves?
Over [174]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light which we see all the time reflecting off objects to give them colours, mechanical waves like sound require something to move in, its the reason why people say you can't scream in space because space is a giant vacuum. No not the kind you use to clean up the mess you made from breakfast. The kind that has no air. So sound can be heard on earth as it is not a vacuum, air moves freely and transfers sounds vibrations all around you to be absorbed by walls and other stuff in comes in contact with.

Extra information:

Sound travels further in water because the molecules are closer together meaning that transferring the energy is easier. This is how Blue wales can communicate from hundreds of miles away.

An atomic nucleus is composed of A) protons. B) protons and neutrons. C) protons and electrons. D) protons, neutrons, and electr
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

B) protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom and represent most of the 'mass' of the atom, that's their count that determine the 'mass' of an atom (like 12 for Carbon).

The electrons rotate around the nucleus and have a negligible mass.
