7. Jake is bowling with a 8 kg bowling ball. He rolls the ball at 7 m/s, and it hits one stationary pin with a mass of 2 kg. The

pin goes flying forward at 12 m/s. How fast is the bowling ball now traveling?

This is a conservation of momentum problem. Initial momentum must equal final momentum. 
Momentum= mass* velecoity
I will denote Ball as b and pin as p
Initial momentum= V(initial b)* Mass(b)+ V(initial p) *mass (p)
since the pin is stationary to begin that means velocity is 0 and we can plug in for the rest
Initial momentum= 7m/s*8kg=56 mkg/s
Now for final momentum=V(final b)*mass(b)+V(final p)*mass(p) plugin
final momentum=V(final b)*8kg+12m/s*2kg
we can set final momentum= inital momentum and solve for V(final b)
56mkg/s= V(final b)*8kg+ 24mkg/s
32mkg/s=V(final b)*8kg
4m/s=V(final b)
so 4 meters/second is the answer

1. 1500j of work was done to move a box 20m. What force was applied to the box ?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1. 75N

2. 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)

Explanation:

1. Work = Force x Distance

we are given that Work = 1,500J and Distance = 20m

hence,

Work = Force x Distance

1,500 = Force x 20

Force = 1,500 ÷ 20 = 75N

2. Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height

we are given that mass = 165 kg and change in height = 42m

assuming that gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height

Potential Energy, PE = 165 x 9.81 x 42 = 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
