Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.
15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s
73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x
solve for x
x= 3.23
The final velocity is 3.23 m/s
Answer:
Option A) n
Explanation:
In accordance to Quantum Mechanical model of an atom:
- The Principle Quantum number (n) gives the description of the shell of an electron and the energy level of an electron in an atom.
- The angular momentum also referred to as Azimuthal Quantum number (l) gives the description of the shape of the orbitals and helps in determination of angular momentum magnitude.
- The magnetic quantum number (
) describes the energy levels or the number of orbitals contained in a subshell and the way these are oriented within.
- The spin quantum no. (
) determines the elelctron spin's direction which may be (
) or (
).
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%.
