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

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air with initial velocity of 50 50 ft/sec. assuming that the air resistance
Anna [14]

The height attained by the ball is 11.86m

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air its initial and final velocity is

initial velocity, u = 50 ft/s = 50×0.305  = 15.25m/s

final velocity ,v = 0 m/s

gravity =-9.8 m/s²

( negative sign shows acceleration in opposite direction)

height =?

using the newton motion of equation

v² = u² + 2as

where

a= acceleration due to gravity(g)

s = height

v² = u² + 2gs

(0)² = (15.25)² + 2×(-9.8)×s

0  = (15.25)² -  19.6 × s

s= - (15.25)²/ 19.6

s = 11.86m

after ignoring the air resistance the maximum height of the ball is 11.86m

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
Nataliya [291]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the definition of speed as a function of distance and time, and the speed of air in the sound, as well

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where,

V= Velocity

d= distance

t = time

Re-arrange the equation to find the distance we have,

d=vt

Replacing with our values

d= (343)(3.7)

d= 1269.1m

It is understood that the sound comes and goes across the entire lake therefore, the length of the lake is half the distance found, that is

L_{lake} = \frac{d}{2}

L_{lake} = \frac{1269.1}{2}

L_{lake} = 634.55m

Therefore the length of the lake is 634,55m

At 6: 00 am, a motorbike set off from town A to town B at a speed of 40km/h. At the same time, a car set off from town B to town
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

One would need to know how far apart the towns are:

T = SA / 40      time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1

T = SB / 60       time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2

SA + SB = S     the distance between the towns

SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA

SA + 1.5 SA = S

S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA

The time will depend on the separation of the towns.
