A 4 kg bowling ball moving at 1.4 m/s east impacts a 400 g pin that is stationary. After the impact, the ball is moving at 0.5 m

/s east. Assuming the collision was elastic, what speed does the pin move at after being struck?

The speed of the pin after the elastic collision is 9 m/s east.

<h3>Final speed of the pin</h3>

The final speed of the pin is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m1u1 + mu2 = m1v1 + m2v2

where;

  • m is the mass of the objects
  • u is the initial speed of the objects
  • v is the final speed of the objects

4(1.4) + 0.4(0) = 4(0.5) + 0.4v2

5.6 = 2 + 0.4v2

5.6 - 2 = 0.4v2

3.6 = 0.4v2

v2 = 3.6/0.4

v2 = 9 m/s

Thus, The speed of the pin after the elastic collision is 9 m/s east.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 18.0 units. If the charge of Object 2 is tripled, then the new
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The force will be 54.0 units

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:

F=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

From the equation, we see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charge of object 2:

F\propto q_2

In this problem, the initial force between the two objects is

F = 18.0 N

And so, when the charge on object 2 is tripled,

q_2'=3q_2

The new electrostatic force will be

F'\propto q_2' = (3q_2) = 3F

So, the force will also triple: since the original force was 18.0 units, the new force will be

F'=3F=3(18.0)=54.0

The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to _______ meters per second squared.
AfilCa [17]
I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to 9.8 meters per second squared.  You can see that all things fall at this rate if there is no air resistance in a system or when in a vacuum.

At which point on this electric field will a test charge show the maximum strength?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:

E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.

From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.

This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.

An empty semi-truck sits on the scale of a weighing station. It is then loaded with 100 irritated pigeons. These two events then
mina [271]

Answer:

The reading in the scale is going to be the same, or if it experiences some change it would be minimum. The reason is because the truck will act as a big closed cage, therefore, when the pigeons fly, the air they move with their wings in order to keep flying,  exerts the same force on the closed cage, that if they were standing on the ground.

If the truck however, allows the air flow, the weight might change, because under this scenario, the air flowing could represent less force exerted on the balance.
