Object A of mass 0.70 kg travels horizontally on a frictionless surface at 20 m/s. It collides with object B, which is initially
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25.71 kgm/s

Explanation:

Let K₁ and K₂ be the initial and final kinetic energies of object A and v₁ and v₂ its initial and final speeds.

Given that K₂ = 0.7K₁

1/2mv₂² = 0.7(1/2mv₁²)

v₂ = √0.7v₁ = √0.7 × 20 m/s = ±16.73 m/s

Since A rebounds, its velocity = -16.73 m/s and its momentum change, p₂ = mΔv = m(v₂ - v₁) = 0.7 kg (-16.73 - 20) m/s = 0.7( -36.73) = -25.71 kgm/s.

Th magnitude of object A's momentum change is thus 25.71 kgm/s

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

Describe how different types of motion are represented by distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.
eduard

Answer:

non-accelerated movement

velocity versus time  a horizontal straight line.

distance versus time  gives a horizontal straight line.

accelerated motion

graph of velocity versus time s an inclined line and the slope

graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

Explanation:

In kinematics there are two types of steely and non-accelerated movements

In a  the velocity of the body is constant therefore a speed hook against time gives a horizontal straight line.

A graph of distance versus time is a straight line whose slope is the velocity of the body

          x = v t

In an accelerated motion the velocity changes linearly with time, so a graph of velocity versus time is an inclined line and the slope is the value of the acceleration of the body

         v = v₀ + a t

A graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

         x =v₀ t + ½ a t²
