Answer:

2.1 m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum;

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the common velocity

Given

m1 = 2150kg

m2 = 3250kg

u1 = 10.0m/s

u2 = ?

v = 5.22m/s

Substitute and get u2

2150(10) + 3250u2 = (2150+3250)5.22

21,500 + 3250u2 = 5400(5.22)

3250u2 = 28,188 - 21500

3250u2 = 6688

u2 = 6688/3250

u2 = 2.1 m/s

Hence the 3250 kg car’s initial velocity has an initial velocity of  2.1 m/s

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

If earth increase the distance from the sun, what will happen to the period of orbi t(the time it takes to complete one revoluti
Mandarinka [93]

The period of the orbit would increase as well

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"

Mathematically,

\frac{T^2}{a^3}=const.

Where

T is the orbital period

a is the semi-major axis of the orbit

In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, a: but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to a, therefore as a increases, T increases as well.

Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.

What is the role of Langerhans cells?
boyakko [2]

     

Langerhans cells exist on the surface of the skin. They help to protect you by keeping dangerous microbes from entering your body. Langerhans cells do this in two very different ways: by protecting your skin from infection and also by stimulating allergic reactions.

A ball of mass 0.15 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.960 m. b)
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

If v be the velocity just after the rebound

Kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √ 2gh

= √ 2 x 9.8 x .96

= 4.33 m / s
