Answer:

the correct answer is B

Explanation:

Let's propose the solution of the problem, for this we form a system formed by the two cars, so that the forces during the collision are internal, the momentum is conserved

instantly starts. Before the crash

         p₀ = M v +0

final instant. After the crash

        m_f = (M + M) v_f

the moment is preserved

        p₀ = p_f

        M v = 2 M v_f

        v_f = v / 2

let's look for kinetic energy

before the crash

       K₀ = ½ M v²

after the crash

       K_f = ½ 2M (v_f)²

       K_f = ½ 2M (v/2)²

       K_f = (½ M v²) ½

       K_f = K₀ / 2

therefore the correct answer is B

Which part of the drum vibrates when it produces sound?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.

What are the answers please help
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2cm

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

c.) 10.27 cm

d.)  10.31 cm

e.)  10.24 cm  

Explanation:

The figure depicts a vernier caliper readings

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2 cm

The reading before the vernier scale

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

the point where the main scale and vernier scale meet

c.) The observed readings is

10.2 + 0.07 = 10.27 cm

d.) If the instrument has a positive zero error of 4 division

correct reading = 10.27 + 0.04 = 10.31cm

e.)  If the instrument has a negative zero error of 3 division

correct reading = 10.27 - 0.03 = 10.24cm

Earth's lithospheric plates interact at____.
earnstyle [38]

Explanation:

Tectonic plate interactions are classified into three basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.
