The total amount of energy always stays the same because of the law of conservation of energy, meaning that there is always the same amount of energy, it just gets turned into different forms like potential energy, kinetic energy, sound, thermal, etc.
Answer:
2.4 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
(0.08 kg)(0.5 m/s) + (0.05 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.08 kg)(-0.1 m/s) + (0.05 kg) v
0.04 kg m/s = -0.08 kg m/s + (0.05 kg) v
0.12 kg m/s = (0.05 kg) v
v = 2.4 m/s
Answer: Ecosystem
Explained: There's a minimum word count I'm filling up, don't mind me.
First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
