Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

From the question, since there is a lost in kinetic energy, Then the collision is an inelastic collision.

m'u'+mu = V(m+m')........... Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the moving object, m = mass of the stick, u' = initial velocity of the moving object, initial velocity of the stick, V = common velocity after collision.

make V the subject of the equation above

V = (m'u'+mu)/(m+m')............. Equation 2

Given: m' = 2 kg, m = 8 kg, u' = 5 m/s, u = 0 m/s (at rest).

Substitute into equation 2

V = [(2×5)+(8×0)]/(2+8)

V = 10/10

V = 1 m/s.

Lost in kinetic energy = Total kinetic energy before collision- total kinetic energy after collision

Total kinetic energy before collision = 1/2(2)(5²) = 25 J

Total kinetic energy after collision = 1/2(2)(1²) +1/2(8)(1²) = 1+4 = 5 J

Lost in kinetic energy = 25-5 = 20 J

arlik [135]

Answer:

\ m/s

Explanation:

F = Force =

m = Mass of proton = 1.7\times 10^{-27\ kg

t = Time taken = 2\times 10^{-14}\ s

Acceleration is given by

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{}{1.7\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=+\times 2\times 10^{-14}\\\Rightarrow v=+\times 2\times 10^{-14}\\\Rightarrow v=+\\\Rightarrow v=\ m/s

The velocity of the proton is \ m/s

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m 
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range 
--------------------------------------... 
let t be top height time 
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0 
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt 
t = u sin p/g 
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2 
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g 
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5 
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4

===================== 
t = HALF the time of flight 
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g]

A 5.0-ohm resistor, a 10.0-ohm resistor, and a 15.0-ohm resistor are connected in parallel with a battery. The current through t
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)

<u>E = 3456 J</u>

A small bolt with a mass of 41.0 g sits on top of a piston. The piston is undergoing simple harmonic motion in the vertical dire
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Amplitude will be equal to 0.091 m

Explanation:

Given mass of the slits = 41 gram = 0.041 kg

Frequency f = 1.65 Hz

So angular frequency \omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 1.65=10.362rad/sec

Angular frequency is equal to \omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

10.362 =\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.041}}

Squaring both side

107.371 ={\frac{k}{0.041}}

k = 4.40 N/m

For vertical osculation

mg=kA

0.041\times 9.8=4.40\times A

A = 0.091 m

So amplitude will be equal to 0.0391 m
