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%.

A 7300 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 and feels no appreci
Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the velocity at height h = 575 m .

acceleration a = 2.2 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 a s

u is initial velocity , v is final velocity , s is height achieved

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.2 x 575

v = 50.3 m /s

After 575 m , rocket moves under free fall so g will act on it downwards

If it travels further by height H

from the relation

v² = u² - 2 g H

v = 0 , u = 50.3 m /s

H = ?

0 = 50.3² - 2 x 9.8 H

H = 129.08 m

Total height attained by rocket

= 575 + 129.08

= 704.08 m .

Each corner of a right-angled triangle is occupied by identical point charges "A", "B", and "C" respectively. Draw a sketch of t
NISA [10]

Answer:

Fnet = F√2

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

Explanation:

A exerts a force F on B, and C exerts an equal force F on B perpendicular to that.  The net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

Fnet = √(F² + F²)

Fnet = F√2

The force between two charges particles is:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

where

k is Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.

If we say the charge of each particle is q, then:

F = kq²/r²

Substituting:

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

A). Both the energy and the wave travel in the same direction.

If they didn't, they'd wind up in different cities almost instantly.

Bernice draws an oxygen atom. She draws a small circle for the nucleus. Inside of the circle, she draws plus signs for protons a
Lelu [443]

Answer

It should be A and C

Explanation:

because oxygen is number 8 in the periodic table of elements and has a atomic weight of 15.999 you use those numbers to figure out what is true between those.

The 8 for oxygen goes for the number of electrons and proton and to find neutrons u round the 15.999 up which now make it 16 and subtract it by the 8 now you have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons

A vacuum cleaner has a rating of 460 W on 230 V mains. The value of the fuse connected in the plug will be
amid [387]

Answer:

2 amps

Explanation:

Given data

Power = 460W

voltage= 230V

Required

The amperage/ current of the fuse

Recall  P= IV

I= P/V

I= 460/230

I=2 amps

Hence the current of the fuse is 2 amps
