Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁  = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂  = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

   5 x 1  + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

          5  = 20v

          v = \frac{5}{20}   = 0.25m/s

Answer:

1.00029

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy without displacing the medium itself.

interference is one of the characteristics of a wave motion

The Michelson interferometer produces interference fringes by splitting a beam of monochromatic light so that one beam strikes a fixed mirror and the other a movable mirror. When the reflected beams are reflected, an interference pattern results.

∝Δm=Δud

∝=wavelength  500nm

Δm=number of fringes

d=length 9f the  Michelson interferometer chamber

Δu= change in refractive index

500*10^-9*29=0.05*Δu

Δu=0.00029

REFRACTIVE INDEX=1+0.00029

refractive index=

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.

Identify the number of and types of elements in this schematic diagram
Nataly_w [17]
-- The long line and short line close together at the left side
       of the diagram represent a single-cell battery.
It's the only one in this diagram. 
It's a device that stores chemical energy and delivers it on demand.

-- The zig-zag lines with circles around them represent light bulbs.
There are three of them in this diagram. 
They are devices used to produce light by dissipating electrical energy.

-- The zig-zag lines without circles, at the top of the diagram,
       represent resistors.
There are two of them in this diagram.
They are devices used to change or control electrical parameters
   within a circuit by dissipating electrical energy.

-- The short straight line between two small circles at the bottom
       of the diagram  represents a switch.
There is only one switch in this circuit.
It's a device used to easily and quickly start or stop the flow of current
    past a certain point in a circuit.

In this circuit ...

-- When the switch is closed (as drawn), the light bulb nearest the battery
glows brightest, the light bulb in the middle glows less bright, and the light
bulb on the right side glows dimmest of all.

-- When the switch is open, the light bulb nearest the battery glows, and
neither of the other two light bulbs glows at all.
