A 16-g mass is moving in the +x direction at 30 cm/s while a 4-g mass is moving in the -x direction at 50 cm/s. They collide head on and stick together. Find their velocity after collision.

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.

More solar radiation is absorbed by earth’s surface than by

Find the steady-state temperature at the center of the plate = /2, = /2) for sums of w from n=1 to n=19 (only odd values). find the value of n for which the change in /2, /2) is less than 1% from the value at the previous n. at this point, we consider the solution converged. does the value of the temperature at the center seem reasonable? in this part, the values of x and y are constant scalar values. you should produce a plot of the value of n on the horizontal and the estimate of the temperature at the center of the plate on the vertical. b. using the value of n (or larger) that resulted in convergence in part (a), create a contourf plot of the temperature distribution across the entire plate. use enough spatial subdivisions to create a useful plot. comment on the results. hint: you need to determine what “x” and “y” values to use to make your t matrix. i recommend using a different number of x and y values. use enough x and y values so that the plot is “smooth”.
