I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer:

A. 0.0 joules

Explanation:

We can calculate the initial kinetic energy of the car, which is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(1,324 kg)(20 m/s)^2=2.65\cdot 10^5 J

where m is the mass of the car and v its initial speed. After the collision, the car stops, so its final speed is zero. Therefore, the new kinetic energy of the car will be

K=\frac{1}{2}(1,324 kg)(0 m/s)^2 = 0 J

This type of collision is called 'perfectly inelastic collision', and it occurs when there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy, as in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is

A. 0.0 joules

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2

Creates an image that appears upside down behind the focal point
zheka24 [161]
An image that appears upside down behind the focal point is an image that is reflected on a concave mirror. Mirrors reflect different kinds of images based on the placement of an object that is reflected towards it. There are two kinds of mirrors, concave and a convex mirrors, the latter makes objects seem smaller and farther than where it is exactly.
