Considering conservation of momentum;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

In which,
m1 = mass of snowball 1 = 0.4 kg
v1 = velocity of snowball 1 = 15 m/s
m2 = mass of snowball 2 = 0.6 kg
v2 = velocity of snow ball 2 = 15 m/s
m3 = combined mass = 1 kg
v3 = velocity after comination
Therefore;
0.4*15 + 0.6*15 = 1*v3
v3 = 6+9 = 15 m/s
KE = 1/2mv^2

Then,
KE1 = 1/2*0.4*15^2 = 45 J
KE2 = 1/2*0.6*15^2 = 67.5 J
KE3 = 1/2*1*15^2 = 112.5 J

Therefore, KE3 (kinetic energy after collision) = K1+K2 {kinetic energy before collision). And thus it is 100%.

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

A 7950-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s . A 2950-kg load, initially
Alchen [17]

The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s

<h3 />

According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v

v =\frac{m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}

v = \frac{7950*15}{7950+2950}

v= 10.9 m/s

Therefore, the new speed of care is 10.9 m/s

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed
dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = \frac{frequency}{speed of light}

20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz
