A 2.0-kg object moving 5.0 m/s collides with and sticks to an 8.0-kg object initially at rest. Determine the kinetic energy lost by the system as a result of this collision.

20J

Explanation:

In a collision, whether elastic or inelastic, momentum is always conserved. Therefore, using the principle of conservation of momentum we can first get the final velocity of the two bodies after collision. This is given by;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v          ---------------(i)

Where;

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of first and second objects respectively

u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocities of the first and second objects respectively

v  is the final velocity of the two objects after collision;

From the question;

m₁ = 2.0kg

m₂ = 8.0kg

u₁ = 5.0m/s

u₂ = 0        (since the object is initially at rest)

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

(2.0 x 5.0) + (8.0 x 0) = (2.0 + 8.0)v

(10.0) + (0) = (10.0)v

10.0 = 10.0v

v = 1m/s

The two bodies stick together and move off with a velocity of 1m/s after collision.

The kinetic energy(KE₁) of the objects before collision is given by

KE₁ = m₁u₁² +  m₂u₂²       ---------------(ii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (ii)

KE₁ = ( x 2.0 x 5.0²) +  ( x 8.0 x 0²)

KE₁ = 25.0J

Also, the kinetic energy(KE₂) of the objects after collision is given by

KE₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v²      ---------------(iii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (iii)

KE₂ = ( 2.0 + 8.0) x 1²

KE₂ = 5J

The kinetic energy lost (K) by the system is therefore the difference between the kinetic energy before collision and kinetic energy after collision

K = KE₂ - KE₁

K = 5 - 25

K = -20J

The negative sign shows that energy was lost. The kinetic energy lost by the system is 20J

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

i think the answer would be reserve.
