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

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

A force of 14 N acts on a 5 kg object for 3 seconds.
DiKsa [7]

Answer: a) 42Nm b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as object change in momentum.

Since Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.

F = m(v-u)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = m(v-u)

Since impulse = Ft

and Ft = m(v-u)... (1)

The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m from eqn 1

Going to the question;

a) Impulse = Force (F) × time(t)

Given force = 14N and time = 3seconds

Impulse = 14×3

Impulse = 42Nm

b) The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m where mass = 5kg

v-u = 14×3/5

Change in velocity = 42/5 = 8.4m/s

When two point charges are a distance d part, the electric force that each one feels from the other has magnitude F. In order to
Serjik [45]

Answer:

E) d/sqrt2

Explanation:

The initial electric force between the two charge is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

d is the separation between the two charges

We can also rewrite it as

d=\sqrt{k\frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}

So if we want to make the force F twice as strong,

F' = 2F

the new distance between the charges would be

d'=\sqrt{k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2F)}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2F)}}=\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}

so the correct option is E.
