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

What is the height of a building that an object is dropped from if it has a mass of 3 kg and hits the ground with a velocity of
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

125 m

Explanation:

m = 3kg

v = 50m/s

u = 0m/s

a = +g = 10m/s²

s = H = ?

using the formula,

v² = u² + 2as

50² = 0² + 2(10)(H)

2500 = 20H

H = 2500/20

H = 125m

In the previous part, you determined the maximum angle that still allows the crate to remain at rest. If the coefficient of fric
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

B. The maximum angle decreases

Explanation:

If θ be the maximum angle of a slope that allows a crate placed on it to remain at rest , following condition exists .

tanθ = μ , θ is called angle of repose . μ is coefficient of static friction .

So the tan of angle of repose θ is proportional to coefficient of static friction.

If coefficient of static friction is less than .7 , naturally angle of repose will also become less ,ie,  it at lower angle of inclination , the object will start slipping .

An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10−14 J . When an electro
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction  to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.
