Two masses, each weighing 1.0 × 103 kilograms and moving with the same speed of 12.5 meters/second, are approaching each other.

They have a head-on collision and bounce off away from each other. Assuming this is a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the approximate kinetic energy of the system after the collision?
A. 1.6 × 105 joules
B. 2.5 × 105 joules
C. 1.2 × 103 joules
D. 2.5 × 103 joules ...?

A perfectly elastic<span> collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of </span>kinetic energy<span> in the collision. Therefore, we just add the kinetic energies of each system. We calculate as follows:

KE = 0.5(</span>1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2 + 0.5(1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2
KE = 156250 J = 1.6 x 10^5 J -------> OPTION A

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p
frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2

(a) Since, a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v = velocity

dv=a.dt

v=\int(a.dt)

v=\int(5-10t)(dt)

v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2

(b) v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

x = position

x=\int v.dt

x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt

x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3

(c) Velocity function is given by :

v=5t-5t^2

5t-5t^2=0

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

How would you describe the motion of all three vehicles?​
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:In physics, motion is defined as a change in the position of a body with respect to a reference point. ... Think about the motion of three cars: one in the fast-moving carpool lane, another in the middle lane, and the third in the slow lane used to enter or exit the freeway.

The desert sand is very hot during the day and very cold at night. What does this tell you about its specific heat capacity?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.

What are different ways to describe speed and velocity
ioda
Speed is a constant direction of where you go, constant motion, and velocity is the displacement of a objects direction, plus the direction the object is traveling to.
