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.

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Explanation:

When an athlete tries to stop his career, it takes several meters to stop completely, due to the inertia produced.

When trying to push a car, at first it is very difficult, because, due to inertia, the car tends to remain still.  But once it is put into motion, the effort is much less to be done, since then inertia causes it to keep moving.

If two objects have the same mass, what determines the strength of the gravitational force between them? (4 points) Select one:
Evgen [1.6K]

According to this equation

F = G × m₁*m₂ ÷ r²

other than the mass, the distance also affects the gravitational force between two objects (same mass or not).

Therefore the correct answer is B. The distance between the objects

Future note* use formulas to help you figure these sort of questions out. (if they have a formula to begin with).

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.
