B.
technically it would depend if the resistors were in series or parallel but B is the answer.
Answer:
A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy
Explanation:
If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.
However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.
Answer:
2.06 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.
Momentum before collision
Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5
Momentum after collision
The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4
Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4
9v=18.5
V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s
Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s
Yes because of the smoke you are creating in the air
