Unpolarized light has light waves that are oriented in all directions while polarized light has all the light waves oscillating in one direction. An example for unpolarized is the Sun, or any other simple type of light.

Which has more kinetic energy, a 4.0 kg bowling ball moving at 1.0 m/s or a 1.0 kg
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of bocce ball is more.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a bowling ball, m₁ = 4 kg

Speed of the bowling ball, v₁ = 1 m/s

Mass of bocce ball, m₂ = 1 kg

Speed of bocce ball, v₂ = 4 m/s

We need to say which has more kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Kinetic energy of the bowling ball,

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\\E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (1)^2\\\\E_1=2\ J

The kinetic energy of the bocce ball,

E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times (4)^2\\\\E_2=8\ J

So, the kinetic energy of bocce ball is more than that of bowling ball.

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

A 5 kg block is sliding down a plane inclined at 30^0 with a constant velocity of 4 m/s. To determine the coefficient of frictio
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3

m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}

Divide both side by m_1, then multiply by 6 we have

6v = 2v + 3v_2

3v_2 = 4v

v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed

A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part a)

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

mg - F_n = ma_c

now we will have

mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we have

F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}

F_n = 981 - 675

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

F_n + mg = ma_c

F_n = 0 at minimum speed

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider
