A green ball (ball 1) of mass M, collides with an orange (ball 2) of mass 1.26 m. The initial speed of the green ball is 5.4 m/s

the final speed of the green ball is 2.6 m/s and theta = 36.9° A find the magnitude of the final speed of the orange ball? B. what is a direction of the final speed of the orange ball?

We know that in a collision the momentum is conserved, that is:

\vec{p}_0=\vec{p}_f

Since this is vector equation we can divide it in two scalar equations, one for x and for y. Then we have:

\begin{gathered} p_{0x}=p_{fx} \\ \text{and} \\ p_{0y}=p_{fy} \end{gathered}

Then we have for the x direction:

\begin{gathered} 5.4m=m(2.6)\cos 36.9+1.26mv_o\cos \phi \\ 5.4=2.6\cos 36.9+1.26v_o\cos \phi \end{gathered}

and for the y direction:

\begin{gathered} 0=-m2.6\sin 36.9+1.6mv_o\sin \phi \\ 2.6\sin 36.9=1.6v_o\sin \phi \end{gathered}

Hence, we have the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} 5.4=2.6\cos 36.9+1.26v_o\cos \phi \\ 2.6\sin 36.9=1.6v_o\sin \phi \end{gathered}

From the second equation we have:

v_o=\frac{2.6\sin 36.9}{1.6\sin \phi}

Plugging this in the first equation:

\begin{gathered} 5.4=2.6\cos 36.9+1.26(\frac{2.6\sin36.9}{1.6\sin\phi})\cos \phi \\ 1.26(\frac{2.6\sin36.9}{1.6})\tan \phi=5.4-2.6\cos 36.9 \\ \tan \phi=\frac{1.6(5.4-2.6\cos 36.9)}{(1.26)(2.6\sin 36.9)} \\ \phi=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{1.6(5.4-2.6\cos36.9)}{(1.26)(2.6\sin36.9)}) \\ \phi=69.69 \end{gathered}

Now that we know the value of the angle we plug it in the expression for the velocity, then we have:

\begin{gathered} v_o=\frac{2.6\sin 36.9}{1.6\sin 69.69} \\ v_0=1.04 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the magnitude of the final speed of the orange ball is 1.04 m/s and the direction is 69.69°

Can concave lens be used to make hand lens .why?​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

No concave lens cannot be used to make hand lens because in hand Lens we use convex lens so as to converge the rays of the light After refraction and helps to produce a magnified image of an object.

Hope it will help you :)❤
