A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0°. What is the value of work being done on the object?

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s

If you are a plato user the answer would be "a decrease in the overall volume of gases" i just completed the test and this was the answer. hope it ! (:

1) what is light? light is an electromagnetic wave visible to the human eye.  2) what is a reflection? the rebounding of a light ray when it hits a mirror.3) what is the incident ray? contacts the surface of an object.4) what is the reflected ray? bounces off a reflective surface.5) what is the normal ray? perpendicular to the surface of a mirror.6) what is the angle of incidence? an angle formed by the incident ray and the normal.7) what is the angle of reflection? an angle formed by the reflected ray and the normal.8) what is refraction? (bending.)9) what is a converging lens? bring together light rays that pass through.10) what is a diverging lens? spreads out light passing through.11) focal point? the real point where the refracted rays meet when the incident rays run parallel.
