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

How is mercury barometer constructed ?<br>​
olganol [36]

Answer:

A  mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

  • A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
  • Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
  • The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

Three +3.0-μC point charges are at the three corners of a square of side 0.50 m. The last corner is occupied by a −3.0-μC charge
kramer

Answer:

E = 440816.32 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Three point charge of charge equal to +3.0 micro coulomb

fourth point charge = - 3.0 micro coulomb

side of square = 0.50 m

K =1/4 \pi \epsilon_0 = 8.99 \times 10^9 N.m^2/c^2

Due to having equal charge on center of square, 2 charge produce equal electric field at center and other two also produce electric field at center of same value

So we have

E_1 + E_3 = 0

E =E_2 + E_4

E = 2 E_2

[E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}

[r= \frac{(0.5^2 + 0.5^2)^2}{2} = 0.35 m]

plugging all value

E = 2 E_2

E = 2 E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}

E = \frac{2 \times 8.99 \times 10^93\times 10^{-6}}{0.35^2}

E = 440816.32 N/C

Which layer of the atmosphere has the highest density?
fomenos

Answer:

The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosol. The troposphere extends from the Earth’s surface up to the tropopause where the stratosphere begins.
