Answer:

0.006075Joules

Explanation:

The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies

v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision

get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v

0.054 = 0.24v

v = 0.054/0.24

v = 0.225m/s

Get the final kinetic energy;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v

KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²

KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)

KE = 0.12*0.050625

KE = 0.006075Joules

Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules

The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 930 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 780 mbars at the end. Neglecting the eff
lara31 [8.8K]
We could use the change of pressure to calculate for the height climbed by the mountain hiker. The change of pressure is given by

p = rho * g * h, where p is the change of pressure, rho is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Using the conversion 1 mbar = 100 Pa,

(930 - 780)(100) = (1.20)(9.80)h
15000 = 1.20*9.80*h

h = 1.28 km

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.

Hence, \Delta E = 0. And, as \Delta E = 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.

Therefore,

                   Q = -(19000 J + 2000 J)

                       = -21000 J

or,    |Q| = 21000 J

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the energy transfer between the house and the outside air is 21000 J.

A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of u=(10i +15j) m/s. Whan it reaches the top of it trajectory neglecting air resistanc
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = (10 i ^ + 0j ^) m / s,    a = (0i ^ - 9.8 j ^) m / s²

Explanation:

This is a missile throwing exercise.

On the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity on the x axis is constant

           v₀ₓ =  10 m / s

On the y-axis velocity is affected by the acceleration of gravity, let's use the equation

           v_y = v_{oy} - g t

           v_{y}^2 = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g (y - y_o)

at the highest point of the trajectory the vertical speed must be zero

           v_y = 0

therefore the velocity of the body is

          v = (10 i ^ + 0j ^) m / s

the acceleration is

          a = (0 i ^ - g j⁾

          a = (0i ^ - 9.8 j ^) m / s²

Heather and Matthew take 45 s to walk eastward along a straight road to a store 72 m away. What is their average velocity?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

v = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 72 m

Time taken, t = 45 s

We need to find their average velocity. Average velocity of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{72\ m}{45\ s}\\\\v=1.6\ m/s

So, their average velocity is 1.6 m/s.
