Given

mj = 65 kg

mc = 78 kg

voj = 5.75 m/s

after collision

vfj = vfc = 0 m/s

Procedure

The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

\begin{gathered} p_o=p_f \\ m_jv_{0j}-m_cv_{0c}=0 \\ m_jv_{0j}=m_cv_{0c} \\ v_{0c}=\frac{m_jv_{0j}}{m_c} \\ v_{0c}=\frac{65kg*5.75m/s}{78kg} \\ v_{Oc}=4.8m/s \end{gathered}

The velocity before the collision would be 4.8m/s

A charged particle moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field.Which of the following would increase the period of the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:

qvB = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

m is the mass

r is the radius of the orbit

The period of the motion is

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}

Re-arranging for r

r=\frac{Tv}{2\pi}

And substituting into the previous equation

qvB = m \frac{Tv^3}{2\pi}

Solving for T,

T=\frac{2\pi q B}{m v^2}

So we see that the period is:

- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field

- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed

So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

What is acceleration measured in?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.





This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words

17 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

\frac{D}{d} = 4.12

Explanation:

As we know that resistance of one copper wire is given as

r = \rho \frac{L}{a}

here we know that

a = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2

now we have

r = \rho \frac{L}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4})}

r = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi d^2}

now we know that such 17 resistors are connected in parallel so we have

R = \frac{r}{17}

R = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}

Now if a single copper wire has same resistance then its diameter is D and it is given as

R = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2}

now from above two equations we have

\rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2} = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}

D^2 = 17 d^2

now we have

\frac{D}{d} = 4.12

You have a motion security light by your door cat runs across the in the light turns on what is the input of the system and what
Neporo4naja [7]
A motion security line is a system that is used to detect motion.
The input for the system is MOTION and the output is LIGHT. That is, when the system detects motion it switch on light.
Remember, an Input is the information that was inserted into a system while the output is the result of the processed information.
