Answer:

p = 0, K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2} (before collision), K_{B} = 0 (after collision).

Explanation:

The total momentum is obtained using the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

m\cdot v_{A} - m \cdot v_{A} = 2\cdot v_{B}

It is trivial to find that final speed and total momentum of the system are zero:

p = 0

The total kinetic energy of the system becomes zero due to the inellastic collision and the same masses and speeds. Total kinetic energies before and after collision are, respectively:

K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2}

K_{B} = 0

Kruka [31]

Answer:

more than 90%

Explanation:

In the unknown liquid the buoyant force and weight relation is

V\rho_lg=mg\\\Rightarrow V\rho_l=m

It can be seen that if the density decreases the buoyant force decreases.

If the object is already 90% submerged in water then, if the other liquid has density less than that of water the object will be submerged more than 90%.

daser333 [38]

Answer: D

1200

Explanation:

Song 1 is spotted with a cube sign.

At 3 minute, trace the spot to the vertical axis. And you will notice that it a little bit above 10.

Since it is above 10, let assume it is equal to 12.

The number of song downloaded are in hundreds. Therefore, multiply the 12 by 100

12 × 100 = 1200 downloads

Approximately, song 1 has 1200 downloads at minute 3
