Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 3 kilograms. The initial v

elocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the right, and the initial velocity of the ball B is 6 meters per second to the left. The final velocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the left, while the final velocity of ball B is 6 meters per second to the right.
1. Explain what happens to each ball after the collision. Why do you think this occurs? Which of Newton’s laws does this represent?

2. What can you say about the total momentum before and after the collision?

3. What do you think would happen to the velocity of each ball after the collision if the masses and initial velocities of each ball were the same?

4. The mass of ball A is 10 kilograms and the mass of ball B is 5 kilograms. If the initial velocity is set to 3 meters per second for each ball, what is the final velocity of ball B if the final velocity of ball A is 2 meters per second? Use the elastic collision equation to find the final velocity of ball B. Assume ball A initially moves from right to left and ball B moves in the opposite direction. Identify each mass, velocity, and unknown. Show your work, including units, and indicate the direction of ball B in your answer.

5. If the mass of each ball were the same, but the velocity of ball A were twice as much as ball B, what do you think would happen to the final velocity of each ball after the collision? To answer this question, create a hypothesis in the form of an if-then statement. The “if” is the independent variable, or the thing that is being changed. The “then” is the dependent variable, or what you will measure as the outcome.

1. After the collision, their velocities have switched. This is Newton's third law of motion.

2. The total momentum is conserved.

3. The same thing would happen if the collision is totally elastic.

For 4 and 5.

What is the relationship between the wavelength of the peak (maximum) of the Gaussian curve and the temperature in degrees Kelvi
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}

Explanation:

Wien's displacement law states that the radiation of the black body curve for different temperatures will give peak values at different wavelengths and this wavelength is related inversely to the temperature.

Formally the law of Wien displacement states that the black body's spectral radiation per unit of wavelength, will give peaks at the wavelength of  \lambda_{max} which is given by the mathematical expression.

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}

Here, b is proportionality constant  with value of 2.897771955...\times 10^{-3} mK

The wavelength of the peak of the Gaussian curve is inversely related to temperature in degree kelvin.

A 1232 kg car moving north at 25.6 m/s collides with a 2028 kg car moving north at 17.5 m/s . They stick together. In what direc
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

I. Angle = 41.7° Northeast.

II. Vr = 7.08m/s

Explanation:

Let the two cars be denoted by A and B

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass of car A = 1232 Kg

Velocity of car A = 25.6 m/s

Mass of car B = 2028 Kg

Velocity of car B = 17.5m/s

First of all, we would solve for momentum;

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum, M1 = 1232 × 25.6

Momentum, M1 = 31539.2 Kgm/s

Momentum, M2 = 2028 × 17.5

Momentum, M2 = 35490 Kgm/s

Now, let's find the resultant momentum using the Pythagoras theorem;

R² = M1² + M2²

R² = 31539.2² + 35490²

R² = 994721136.6 + 1259540100

R² = 2254261237

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

Resultant momentum, R = 47479.06 Kgm/s

To find the direction;

Angle = tan¯¹(M1/M2)

Angle = tan¯¹(31539.2/35490)

Angle = tan¯¹(0.89)

<em>Angle = 41.7° Northeast.</em>

To find the speed;

R = (M1 + M2)Vr

47479.06 = (31539.2 + 35490)Vr

47479.06 = 67029.2Vr

Vr = 47479.06/67029.2

<em>Vr = 7.08m/s</em>

A child is perched perilously above a 150m ravine. The child has a mass of 45kg. How much
Finger [1]

Answer:

<em>U = 66,150 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8\ m/s^2.

The child of mass m=45 Kg is perched above a h=150 m ravine. His gravitational potential energy is:

U=45~Kg\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2\cdot 150\ m

U = 66,150 J
