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

La tensión en newtons necesaria para que una onda transversal cuya longitud de onda es 3.33 cm vibre a razón de 625 ciclos por s
NemiM [27]

Answer:

9.34 N

Explanation:

First of all, we can calculate the speed of the wave in the string. This is given by the wave equation:

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the waves in this string we have:

f=625 Hz, since it completes 625 cycles per second

\lambda=3.33 cm = 0.033 m is the wavelength

So the speed of the wave is

v=(625)(0.0333)=20.6 m/s

The speed of the waves in a string is related to the tension in the string by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} (1)

where

T is the tension in the string

\mu=\frac{m}{L} is the linear density

In this problem:

m=16.5 g = 16.5\cdot 10^{-3} kg is the mass of the string

L = 0.75 m is the its length

Solving the equation (1) for T, we find the tension:

T=\mu v^2 = \frac{m}{L} v^2 = \frac{16.5\cdot 10^{-3}}{0.75}(20.6)^2=9.34 N

The force between two charged bodies is called ______________.
stepladder [879]

The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive. ... Like the gravitational force, the Coulomb force is an inverse square law.

Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar
omeli [17]

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>
