This follows the law of conservation of momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of object.
Momentum = mass(m) x velocity(v)
law of conservation of momentum means that the total momentum of system before the collision of 2 objects is equal to the total momentum after the collision
Before the collision total momentum
= m1v1 + m2v2
m1 = 2 kg
v1 = 2 m/s
m2 = 6 kg
v2 = 0 m/s
substituting the values in the equation
total momentum before = (2 kg x 2 m/s) + (6 kg x 0 m/s)
total momentum = 4 kgm/s
after the collision the 2 objects stick together and have a common velocity
total momentum after the collision = (6 kg + 2 kg)x V = 8V
V = speed of the conglomerate particle
since total momentum before is equal to total momentum after
8V = 4
V = 2 m/s
speed of conglomerate particle is 2 m/s
Answer: The final temperature of nickel and water is 
.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Mass of water, m = 55.0 g,
Initial temp, 
,
Final temp, 
= ?,
Specific heat of water = 4.184 
,
Now, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.
q = 
= 
Also,
mass of Ni, m = 15.0 g,
Initial temperature, 
,
Final temperature, 
= ?
Specific heat of nickel = 0.444
Hence, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.
q =
= 
Therefore, heat energy lost by the alloy is equal to the heat energy gained by the water.
= -()
=
Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of nickel and water is .
First, you need to calculate the standard cell potential using standard reduction potential from a textbook or online. Since Mg becomes Mg+2, magnesium is being oxidized because it is losing electrons, you need to flip its potential
Fe+2 + 2e- --> Fe potential= -0.44
Mg+2 + 2e- --> Mg potential= -2.37
Cell potential= (-0.44) + (+2.37)= 1.93 V
Now, you need to use Nernst formula to get the answer. I have attached a PDF with the work.
