Answer:

(a) The speed of the first particle is 1.75 m/s. The speed of the second particle is 6.9 m/s after the collision.

(b) The speed of the first particle is 3.45 m/s in the negative direction. The speed of the second particle is 1.73 m/s.

(c) The final kinetic energy of the incident particle in part (a) and part(b) is 0.0031 J and 0.011 J, respectively.

Explanation:

(a)

In an elastic collision, both momentum and energy is conserved.

\vec{P}_{initial} = \vec{P}_{final}\\m_1v_1 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'\\K_{initial} = K_{final}\\\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1'^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2'^2

Combining these equations will give the speed of the second particle.

v_2' = \frac{2m_1}{m_1 + m_2}v_1 = \frac{2*2}{2+1}(5.2) = 6.9~m/s

We can use this to find the speed of the first particle.

m_1v_1 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'\\2(5.2) = 2v_1' + (1)(6.9)\\v_1' = 1.75~m/s

(b)

If m_2 = 10g.

v_2' = \frac{2m_1}{m_1 + m_2}v_1 = \frac{2*2}{2+10}(5.2) = 1.73~m/s

m_1v_1 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'\\2(5.2) = 2v_1' + (10)(1.73)\\v_1' = -3.45~m/s

The minus sign indicates that the first particle turns back after the collision.

(c)

The final kinetic energy of the particle in part (a) and part (b) is

K_a = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1'^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2\times10^{-3})(1.75)^2 = 0.0031 ~J\\K_b = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_1'^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2\times10^{-3})(3.45)^2 = 0.011~J

In which type of process is a gas heated so rapidly that is expands before any heat can escape, resulting in an absence of heat
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Adiabatic.

Explanation:

Any process in which there is no heat tranference is called adiabatic. In the situation, it is explained that due to the change of volume there is no heat between the gas and the environment.

What electric field strength would store 12.5 JJ of energy in every 6.00 mm3mm3 of space?
Tcecarenko [31]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the potential energy per unit volume for which we will obtain an energy density relationship that can be related to the electric field. From this formula it will be possible to find the electric field required in the problem. Our values are given as

The potential energy,  U = 13.0 J

The volume,  V = 6.00 mm^3 = 6.00*10^{-9}m^3

The potential energy per unit volume is defined as the energy density.

u = \frac{U}{V}

u= \frac{(13.0 J)}{(6.00*10^{-9} m^3)}

u= 2.167109 J/m^3

The energy density related with electric field is given by

u = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2

Here, the permitivity of the free space is

\epsilon_0 = 8.85*10^-{12} C^2/N \cdot m^2

Therefore, rerranging to find the electric field strength we have,

E = \sqrt{\frac{2u}{\epsilon_0}}

E = \sqrt{\frac{2(2.167109)}{8.85*10^{-12}}}

E = 2.211010 V/m

Therefore the electric field is 2.21V/m

The stars in the sky are organized into groups of stars called constellations which appear near each other in the sky but are no
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.
