Two gliders on an air track collide in a perfectly elastic collision. Glider A has a mass of 1.1 kg and is initially travelling

at a velocity of 2.7 m/s [E]. It collides head-on with glider B with a mass of 2.4 kg, travelling at a velocity of 1.9 m/s [W]. Determine the final velocity of glider A.

m1= mass 1 = 1.1 kg

Vi1 = initial velocity 1 = 2.7 m/s

m2= 2.4 kg

V2i = -1.9 m/s

We assume east as positive and west as negative.

Apply the formulas:

Vf1 = ?

vf1=(\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})Vi1+(\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})Vi2

Replacing:

Vf1=\frac{(1.1-2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}2.7+\frac{(2\times2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}-1.9Vf1=(\frac{-1.3}{3.5})2.7+(\frac{4.8}{3.5})-1.9Vf1=-1-2.6=-3.6\text{ m/s}

Answer: 3.6 m/s west

A 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the first .8 s , the elevator is under acceleration . It starts from initial velocity u = 0 , final velocity v = 1.2 m /s , time = .8 s

v = u + at

1.2 = 0 +  .8 a

a = 1.2 / .8

= 1.5 m /s²

During the acceleration in upward direction , let reaction force of ground on man be R .

Net force on man = R - mg

Applying Newton's 2 nd law

R - mg = ma

R = m ( g + a )

= 72 ( 9.8 + 1.5 )

= 813.6 N .

This reaction force will be measured by spring scale , so reading of spring scale will be 813.6 N .

22. State any three features of the electroscope.​
MatroZZZ [7]
-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.
