Given

m1 = 15kg

vi1 = +20 m/s

vf1 = +5 m/s

m2 = 10 kg

vi2= -15 m/s

vf2 = ?

Procedure

Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant.

\begin{gathered} m_1v_{i1}+m_2v_{i2}=m_1v_{f2}+m_2v_{f2} \\ 15kg\cdot20m/s+10\operatorname{kg}\cdot-15m/s=15\operatorname{kg}\cdot5m/s+10\operatorname{kg}\cdot v_{f2} \\ 150-75=10v_{f2} \\ v_{f2}=75/10 \\ v_{f2}=7.5\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The speed of the 10kg Ball is 7.5m/s

A student exerts a force of 500 n pushing a box 10 m across the floor in 4 s. how much work does the student perform?
gregori [183]
Work = Force * distance
W = Fd

Given F = 500 N, d = 10 m
W = (500)(10)
W = 5000 J

The work done is 500 Joules. The time of 4 s is irrelevant in this case.

Help meeeeeeeeeeee<br>what is the rheostat and what its ruleeee??​
andre [41]

Answer:

<h2><u>Rheostat:</u></h2>

=> Rheostat is an electric device used as a variable resistance, like the regulator of the fan. It is used to change the electric resistance in the electric circuit.

<h2><u>Principle / Rule:</u></h2>

=> Rheostat works on the principle of Ohm’s law. Ohm’s law states that current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance at the given temperature.

What is the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference?
sladkih [1.3K]

The amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance?</h3>

The capacitance has to do with the amount of charge that is stored by a capacitor. We know that a capacitor is a device that can be used to store electric charges. We have in it, two capacitors separated by a dielectric material.

Hence, the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

Why are objects that fall near earth’s surface rarely in free fall?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Because of the presence of air resistance

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:

- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)

However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.

Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.
