Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, $m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg$

Mass of the truck, $m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg$

Initial velocity of the car, $u_1=22\ m/s$

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2$

$v_2=15.7\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Sum of forces in x direction,

$T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .............(1)

Also, $r=l\ sin\theta$

Equation (1) becomes :

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}$

$v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}$ ...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

On solving above equation :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Define habitat preservation and give at least two examples.

lisov135 [29]

Habitat preservation is when people get together or just one person helps to stop the end of a living space for animals such as the monterey aquarium the help sea life by doing research to see why animals are dying and do what they can to stop it. another one if nation parks or forests you are not allowed to harm them in any way they are protected by laws(the government)
