A perfectly elastic collision occurs between a 15.0-kg mass traveling at 3.50 m/s and a 9.00-kg mass traveling at 2.35 m/s. if t

he final velocity of the 9.00-kg mass is 2.80 m/s, what is the final velocity of the 15.0-kg mass?

Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.

15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s

73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x

solve for x
x= 3.23

The final velocity is 3.23 m/s

That's an urban legend that's been around for a long time.
It was tested on "Mythbusters".  The conclusion was that
it would sting pretty good, and maybe raise a lump, but
it would never penetrate the skull, and it couldn't kill.

Mila [183]

Answer:

The blue light

Explanation:

Spectrums of visible light with longer wavelength are absorbed more quickly such as red than those with shorter wavelength. This contributes to why blue with higher energy and shorter wavelength is able to penetrate deeply compared to others that are easily absorbed. Blue light persist longer so it reaches the depth first while so of others are absorbed.

Final speed after collision with the wall

v_f = -0.4 m/s

before collision the speed of ball initially

v_i = 0.6 m/s

time taken for the collision

\Delta t = 0.2 s

now as per the formula of acceleration we know that

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

now plug in all values in it

a = \frac{-0.4 - 0.6}{0.2}

a = -5.0 m/s^2

so acceleration is - 5 m/s/s for above situation
