Two objects of equal mass collide on a horizontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, object A is at rest while object B

has a constant velocity of 12 m/s. After the collision, the two objects are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision

Answer: 6m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum, the change in momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.

After collision, the two objects will move at the same velocity (v).

Let mA and mB be the mass of the two objects

uA and uB be their velocities before collision.

v be their velocity after collision

Since the two objects has the same mass, mA= mB= m

Also since object A is at rest, its velocity = 0m/s

Velocity of object B = 12m/s

Mathematically,

mAuA + mBuB = (mA+mB )v

m(0) + m(12) = (m+m)v

0+12m = (2m)v

12m = 2mv

12 = 2v

v = 6m/s

Therefore the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision is 6m/s

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A) An automobile light has a 1.0-A current when it is connected to a 12-V battery. Determine the resistance of the light.
kirill [66]

Answer:

The resistance in first case is 12 Ω, power delivered is 12 W, and potential difference is 0.01 V

Explanation:

Given:

(A)

Current I = 1 A

Voltage V = 12 V

For finding the resistance,

  V = IR

  R = \frac{V}{I}

  R = \frac{12}{1}

  R = 12Ω

(B)

For finding power delivered,

  P = I^{2} R

  P = (1) ^{2} \times 12

  P = 12 Watt

(C)

For finding the potential difference,

   V = IR

   V = 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 2

   V = 10 \times 10^{-3}

   V = 0.01 V

Therefore, the resistance in first case is 12 Ω, power delivered is 12 W, and potential difference is 0.01 V

Why is a motorcycle helmet padded?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Motorcycle helmets are padded to give the rider the protection they require in case of accidents. Any hit to the head is absorbed by the padding and the rider is saved from any kind of fatal injury. Whenever a motorcycle rider falls from his motorcycle, there is every possibility that the head will hit the ground first. If the padding was not there, then the rider would get the direct impact of hitting. As most of the pressure of the hit gets absorbed by the inner padding of the helmet, so the rider is saved from the fatal accident. It does not mean that the driver will not have minor injuries but by all chance his life would be saved.
