Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

a ball of mass 0.80 kg moving at a speed of 2.5 m/s along a straight line collided with a mass 2.5 kg which was initially statio
Likurg_2 [28]

The speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the ball, m₁ = 0.8 kg
  • speed of the ball, u₁ = 2.5 m/s
  • mass of the object at rest, m₂ = 2.5 kg
  • final velocity of the object at rest, v₂ = 1 m/s

Let the final velocity of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

(0.8 x 2.5) + (2.5 x 0) = (0.8)v₁  +  2.5(1)

2 = 2.5 + (0.8)v₁

-0.5 = (0.8)v₁

v_1 = \frac{-0.5}{0.8} \\\\v_1 = -0.625 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.
