A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k

ilograms. What is the kinetic energy of the system after the collision if the collision is elastic?

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

A current of 0.92 A flows past a point in a circuit? How much charge, in units of Coulombs, passes that point in one minute?
Alisiya [41]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<u>  = 55.2 Coulombs </u>

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

We can determine Charge using the formula

Q =It, where Q is the amount of charge in Coulombs, I is the current in amperes and t is the time in seconds.

I = 0.92 amperes, t = 1 minute or 60 seconds

Charge = 0.92 × 60

          <u>  = 55.2 Coulombs </u>

10. Calculate the kinetic energy of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2560 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 80 kg

v = 8 m/s

The kinetic energy is

KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 80 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  = 40 \times 64

We have the final answer as

<h3>2560 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

An acceleration constraint says that in some circumstances An acceleration constraint says that in some circumstances the accele
Pavel [41]

Answer:

two objects must have accelerations of equal magnitude.

Explanation:

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

Acceleration constraint refers to a precise relationship between the acceleration of two physical objects.

An acceleration constraint says that in some circumstances two objects must have accelerations of equal magnitude.

Why does the oil in some salad dressings rise to the top of the bottle?
dusya [7]
Oil is less dense than water or most liquids found in Saldana dressing, so the denser liquid sinks to the bottom, leaving the oil on top. It's same principle on how a helium balloon floats in air, the helium is less density than the air around it.
