URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE! A clay ball (mass = 0.25kg) has a rightward momentum of +1.75 kg∙m/s. A second clay ball (mass = 0.25 kg) has a leftward momentum of -1.75 kg∙m/s. The two collide, stick together, and come to a complete stop after the collision.
a) What was the total energy of the system before the collision?
b) What was the total energy of the system after the collision?

the total energy before collision is 12.25J

the total energy after collision is tranfered to sound and heat (by the friction between the two clay balls)

Explanation:

first we should know the velocity of the 2 balls:

momentum=mass ×velocity

we have the momentum and the mass of the 2

so momentum ÷mass=velocity

clay ball 1 velocity=7 m/s & clay ball 2 velocity= -7 m/s

KE=1/2 mv²

1/2 ×0.25×7²=6.125J KE of ball 1

1/2 ×0.25×-7²=6.125J KE of ball 2

add them both we will have 12.25J which is before collision

this energy will then be tranfered to heat and sound as they stop after the collision(velocity =0m/s)

the results is a decrease in air temperature with an increase of altitude.

explanation:

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards
