Most likely they would stick together and keep moving together

Answer:

They will stick to each other and move together.

Explanation:

The difference between elastic and inelastic collision is:

- In an elastic collision, both the total momentum AND the total kinetic energy of the system are conserved - this occurs because the two objects, after the collision, continue separately, each one with its own motion.

- in an inelastic collision, only the total momentum is conserved, while the total kinetic energy after the collision is NOT conserved. This means that part of the kinetic energy is lost after the collision, and this occurs when the two objects stick to each other and continue their motion together.

You are boiling pasta and absentmindedly grab a copper stirring spoon rather than your wooden spoon. The copper spoon has a 20 m
11111nata11111 [884]

The spoon to transfer 40 J of energy to your hand is descibed as follows

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given  area of cross section of copper spoon is A = 20mm into 1.5 mm

temperature difference is DT = (100 minus 35) = 65 0C

length of the spoon is l = 18 cm,

amount of heat should be transfer Q = 40 J

coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper k = 400 W by mk

we know that the thermal conductivity is Q by t = k into A into DT by l

t = Q into l by k into A into DT

t = (40 into 0.18) by  \left(400 \times 30 \times 10^{-6} \times 65\right)

t = 9.23 s

An object on a number line moved from x = 15 cm to x = 165 cm and then
olasank [31]

Answer:

v_avg = 2.9 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the object is the sum of the distance of all its trajectories divided the time:

v_{avg}=\frac{x_{all}}{t}

x_all is the total distance traveled by the object. In this case you have that the object traveled in the first trajectory 165cm-15cm = 150cm, and in the second one, 165cm - 25cm = 140cm

Then, x_all = 150cm + 140cm = 290cm

The average velocity is, for t = 100s

v_{avg}=\frac{290cm}{100s}=2.9\frac{cm}{s}

hence, the average velocity of the object in the total trajectory traveled is 2.9 cm/s

pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

Alexxx [7]
<span>5.98 x 10^-2 ohms. Resistance is defined as: R = rl/A where R = resistance in ohms r = resistivity (given as 1.59x10^-8) l = length of wire. A = Cross sectional area of wire. So plugging into the formula, the known values, including the area of a circle being pi*r^2, gives: R = 1.59x10^-8 * 3.00 / (pi * (5.04 x 10^-4)^2) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (pi * 2.54016 x 10 ^-7) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (7.98015 x 10^-7) R = 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms So that wire has a resistance of 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms.</span>
