Lottery balls are thrown into a hopper and are set into motion by air forced through the container. each ball has a mass of 0.00

44 kg. at one instant in time, ball 1 is moving upward with a speed of 1.3 m/s, and ball 2 is moving downward with a speed of 1.66 m/s. if the kinetic energy of the three-ball system at this instant is 0.0268 j, what must be the speed of ball 3?

In this three body system total kinetic energy remains constant:
E_{k} = constant =0.0268 J

E_{k} = E_{k1}+ E_{k2}+ E_{k3}
If we assume that upwards movement is positive and downwards movement is negative the formula is:
E_{k} = E_{k1}- E_{k2}+ E_{k3}

Formula for kinetic energy is:
E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}

Now we have:
E_{k} = \frac{m v_{1} ^{2} }{2} -\frac{m v_{2} ^{2} }{2} +\frac{m v_{3} ^{2} }{2} \\ E_{k} = \frac{m}{2} (v_{1} ^{2}-v_{2} ^{2}+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ 0.0268= \frac{0.0044}{2} (1.3 ^{2}-1.66^{2}+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ 0.0536=0.0022(1.69-2.7556+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ v_{3} ^{2}=25.43 \\ \\ v_{3} =+-5.04

We got two solutions: positive and negative. The speed is 5.04 m/s and direction can be upwards and downwards.

Two car collide in an intersection. The speed limit in that zone is 30 mph. The car (mass of 1250 kg) was going 17.4 m/s (38.9).
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

u₂ = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we use the law of conservation of momentum, as follows:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\

where,

m₁ = mass of the car = 1250 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2020 kg

u₁ = initial speed of the car before collision = 17.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of the tuck before collision = ?

v₁ = final speed of the car after collision = 6.7 m/s

v₂ = final speed of the truck after collision = 10.3 m/s

Therefore,

(1250\ kg)(17.4\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(u_2)=(1250\ kg)(6.7\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(10.3\ m/s)\\\\(2020\ kg)(u_2) = 8375\ N.s + 20806\ N.s - 21750\ N.s\\\\u_2=\frac{7431\ N.s}{2020\ kg}

<u>u₂ = 3.7 m/s</u>

Which technique is best for manual in-line stabilization of a person floating faceup on the surface?
zmey [24]

Answer:

vise grip

Explanation:

Manual in-line stabilization (MILS) of the cervical spine is a type of airway management when dealing with  patients in traumatic condition ..it is a means that is performed by grasping the mastoid process of the patient, so as to prevent the movement of the cervical column during intubation of the trachea

MLS provides a means of stability to the cervical column for a patient in trauma. During this technique, a patient is restricted from moving his or her cervical collar. The vise grip can be used for a patient with neck injury. The technique is used to roll a patient to face up to prevent further injuries.

These are the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

This law relates a planet's orbital period and its average distance to the Sun. - Third law of Kepler.

The orbits of planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. - First law of Kepler.

The speed of a planet varies, such that a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time frames. - Second law of Kepler.
