Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of momentum; it implies momentum before collision is same after collision hence

M1U1 +M2U2= M1V1 +M2V1

Since both objects comes to rest after collision it means the final velocity is 0 and this has been represented as V1; hence the right side of the equation evaluates to zero.

We can then rewrite the equation as;M1U1 +M2U2=0

Let U1 and U2 be the respective velocity for M1 =30kg and M2= 50kg respectively.

Hence the equation becomes on substituting M1,M2 and U1.

We have;

30×5 + 50×U2 = 0

150 +50U2=0

50U2 = -150

U2= -150/50 = -30m/s

Ignore the -ve sign which shows the direction of the 50kg mass was opposite that of 30kg

_________ are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him
juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal  direction

m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}

v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}

v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

If a longitudinal wave passes a specific point seven times per second, and the distance between wave rarefaction points is 2 met
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: 14 m/s

Explanation:

The speed S of a sound wave is given by the following equation:

S=\lambda f

Where:

\lambda=2 m is the wavelength of the sound wave

f=7 times/s=7 Hz

S=(2 m)(7 Hz)

Hence:

S=14 m/s
