This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal.
momentum = mass x velocity
(1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.
In physics, Hooke's law is written in equation as:
F = kx
It states that the force F exerted on the spring is directly proportional to the displacement x by a constant called spring constant k.
In the laboratory, this is done in an experiment through the apparatus shown in the attached figure. The object experimented here is the spring, and you are to find the spring constant. A known mass of object is attached below the spring. That object carries a force in the form of gravitational pull in terms of weight. When the spring stretches, the displacement is measured with the use of the ruler.
There are a number of sources of error for this experiment. First, the reading from the ruler by the reader may be inaccurate. That's why digital balances are much more reliable because it minimizes human error. Reading the measurement on the ruler is subjective especially when you don't read it on eye level. Second, the force of the object might also be inaccurate if you use an unreliable weighing scale. Lastly, the apparatus might not be properly calibrated.

Answer:
<em>c. The astronaut does not need to worry: the charge will remain on the outside surface.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The astronaut need not worry because <em>according to Gauss's law of electrostatic, a hollow charged surface will have a net zero charge on the inside.</em> This is the case of a Gauss surface, and all the charges stay on the surface of the metal chamber. This same principle explains why passengers are safe from electrostatic charges, in an enclosed aircraft, high up in the atmosphere; all the charges stay on the surface of the aircraft.
