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

A vector has a component of 10 m in the x-direction, a component of 10 m in the y-direction, and a component of 5 m in the z dir
Kobotan [32]

The magnitude of this vector is 15

A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight.

The magnitude of a vector formula is used to calculate the length for a given vector (say v) and is denoted as |v|. So basically, this quantity is the length between the initial point and endpoint of the vector.

Let vector be = a

component of vector in x direction = 10 i

component of vector in y direction = 10 j

component of vector in z direction = 5 z

vector a = 10 i + 10 j + 5 z

magnitude of vector a = |a| = \sqrt{10^{2} +10^{2} + 5^{2}    }

                                             = 15

A large lightning bolt is observed to have a 19500 A current and move 36 C of charge. What was its duration?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current I is defined as the amount of electric charge Q (measured in Coulombs) that passes through a section of a conductor in each unit of time. The letter I is used to name the Intensity and its unit is the Ampere (A).

The intensity of electric current is expressed as:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

where:

I: Intensity expressed in Amps (A)

Q: Electric charge expressed in Coulombs (C)

t: Time expressed in seconds (s)

Being:

  • I= 19500 A
  • Q=36 C
  • t=?

Replacing:

19500 A=\frac{36 C}{t}

Solving:

19500 A*t= 36 C

t=\frac{36 C}{19500 A}

t= 1.85*10⁻³ s= 1.85 ms (being 1 s= 1,000 ms)

<u><em>Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms</em></u>

The apparent weight of a student in alift is 564N . if the mass of the student is 60.3kg, what is the acceleration of the lift ?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

-.457 m/s^2

Explanation:

Actual weight =   60 .3 (9.81) = 591.54 N

Accel of lift changes this to    60.3 ( 9.81 - L)     where L - accel of lift

                                           60.3 ( 9.81 - L ) = 564

                                               solve for L = .457 m/s^2  DOWNWARD

                                                        so L = - .457 m/s^2
