QUICK ANSWER
The collision between two gas molecules or billiard balls can be approximated as elastic collisions. Elastic collisions are exchanges of kinetic energy between two bodies having different reference frames in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after collision is equal to the energy before collision.'
When you squish the spring, you put some energy into it, and after the cord
burns and they go boing in opposite directions, that energy that you stored
in the spring is what gives the blocks their kinetic energy.
But linear momentum still has to be conserved. It was zero while they were
tied together and nothing was moving, so it has to be zero after they both
take off.
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)
After the launch, the 5.5-kg moves to the right at 6.8 m/s,
so its momentum is
(5.5 x 6.8) = 37.4 kg-m/s to the right.
In order for the total momentum to be zero, the other block has to
carry the same amount of momentum in the opposite direction.
M x V = (6 x speed) = 37.4 kg-m/s to the left.
Divide each side by 6 : Speed = 37.4 / 6 =<em> 6.2333... m/s left</em>
(That number is (6 and 7/30) m/s .)
Answer:0,002 = 2 x 10⁻³
Explanation:
0,002 = 2 / 1000 = 2 / 10³ = 2 x 10⁻³
Answer:
7.92 m/s
Explanation:
= Mass of raindrop = 
= Mass of mosquito
= Initial Velocity of raindrop = 8.1 m/s
= Initial Velocity of mosquito = 0 m/s
= Velocity of center of mass
For elastic collision
Hence, the velocity of the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward is 7.92 m/s
Answer:
E_total = 1.30 10¹⁰ C / m²
Explanation:
The intensity of the electric field is
E = k q / r²
on a positive charge proof
The total electric field at the midpoint is
as q₁= 6 10⁻⁶ C the field is outgoing to the right
for charge q₂ = -3 10⁻⁶ C, the field is directed to the right, therefore
E_total = E₁ + E₂
E_total = k q₁ / r₁² + k q₂ / r₂²
r₁ = r₂ = r = 4 10⁻² m
E_total = k/r² (q₁ + q₂)
we calculate
E_total = 9 10⁹ / (4 10⁻²)² (6.0 10⁻⁶ +3.0 10⁻⁶)
E_total = 1.30 10¹⁰ C / m²
