Two clay balls collide head-on in a perfectly inelastic collision. The first ball has a mass of 0.500 kg and an initial velocity

of 4.0 m/s to the right. The mass of the second ball is 0.250 kg, and it has an initial velocity of 3.00 m/s to the left. What is the final velocity of the combined ball of clay after the collision

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of first ball, m1 = 0.5 kg

mass of second ball, m2 = 0.25 kg

initial velocity of first ball, u1 = 4 m/s

initial velocity of the second ball, u2 = - 3 m/s

Let v be the final velocity of the balls after collision

By use of conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 + ( m1 + m2) x v

0.5 x 4 - 0.25 x 3 = ( 0.5 + 0.25) x v

2 - 0.75 = 0.75 v

v = 1.67 m/s towards right.

Answer:

v'=1.667\ m.s^{-1}  in the direction of the first body

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the first ball, m_1=0.5\ kg
  • velocity of the first ball, v_1=4\ m.s^{-1}
  • mass of the second ball, m_2=0.25\ kg
  • velocity of the second ball, v_2=3\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now for the head-on inelastic collision:</u>

m_1.v_1-m_2.v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

(since the bodies combine after an inelastic collision.)

0.5\times 4-0.25\times 3=(0.5+0.25)\times v'

v'=1.667\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of the first body. (Since the net result is positive as assumed in the equation for the first body)

You have designed a machine that requires 1000 J of work from a motor for every 800 J of useful work done by the machine. What i
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

efficiency =   \frac{useful \: work \: done}{total \: energy \: input}

800 / 1000 = 0.8

Efficiency = 0.8 *100 = 80%

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a. 16 s b. -1.866 kJ

Explanation:

a. Since the initial rotational speed ω₀= 3313 rev/min = 3313/60 × 2π rad/s = 346.94 rad/s. Its rotational speed becomes ω₁ = 0.75ω₀ in time t = 4 s.

We find it rotational acceleration using α = (ω₁ - ω₀)/t = (0.75ω₀ - ω₀)/t = ω₀(0.75 - 1)/t = -0.25ω₀/t = (-0.25 × 346.94 rad/s)/4 s = -21.68 rad/s².

Since the turntable stops at ω = 0, the time it takes to stop is gotten from

ω = ω₀ + αt and t = (ω - ω₀)/α = (0 - 346.94 rad/s)/-21.68 rad/s² = (-346.94/-21.68) s = 16 s.

So it takes the turntable 16 s to stop.

b. The workdone by the turntable to stop W equals its rotational kinetic energy change.

So, W = 1/2Iω² - 1/2Iω₀² = 1/2 × 0.031 kgm² × 0² - 1/2 × 0.031 kgm² × (346.94 rad/s)² = 0 - 1865.7 J = -1865.7 J = -1.8657 kJ ≅ -1.866 kJ
