A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col

lides with a second disc with a mass of 9 kg. The second disc is moving horizontally to the right with a speed of 1 m/s at the moment of impact. The two discs stick together upon impact. What is the speed of the composite body immediately after the collision? (round your answer to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

A real heat engine operates between temperatures TcTcT_c and ThThT_h. During a certain time, an amount QcQcQ_c of heat is releas
Nookie1986 [14]

The maximum amount of work performed is

W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C

Explanation:

The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H} (1)

where

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:

\eta = \frac{W_{max}}{Q_H}

where

W_{max} is the maximum work done

Q_H is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

Q_H can be written as

Q_H=W_{max}+Q_C

where

Q_Cis the heat released to the cold reservoir

So the previous equation can be also written as

\eta=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q_C} (2)

By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get

1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q}

And re-arranging the equation and solving for W_{max}, we find

W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C

please help me with my question I will like and mark as brainliest NO LINKS THEY DON'T WORK AND IF U DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER PLS D
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

a)

Weight in Air = 0.3N

Weight in Water = 0.25N

Weight in Liquid = 0.24N.

Upthrust /Buoyant Force = Weight in Air – Weight in Fluid(Water in this case)

= 0.3 – 0.25

= 0.5N.

b) R.D of Body = Density of Body/Density of Standard Fluid(Water).

There's a Derived Formula for RD.

I'm gonna Apply it here.

Ask me for the derivation in the Comment section if you need it.

RD = α/ρ = (Weight in Air) / (Upthrust Force)

Where

α = density of the Body(or reference substance)

ρ = density of standard fluid (water)

= 0.3/0.05 = 6.

c) RD of Liquid = (Density of Liquid) /(Density of standard Fluid(water)

Or we just go by that formula

RD of Liquid = Weight in Air/Upthrust(In Liquid)

We'll be using the Upthrust in that Liquid now.

= 0.3 – 0.24 = 0.06

RD = 0.3/0.06 = 5.

What is the velocity of a dropped object after it has fallen for 3.0 seconds?
7nadin3 [17]
As a consequence, gravity will accelerate a falling object so its velocity increases 9.81 m/s or 32 ft/sfor every second it experiences free fall. Velocity (v) can be calculated via v = gt, where g represents the acceleration due to gravity and t represents time in free fall.
