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

bekas [8.4K]

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value

Which of the following circuits can be used to measure the resistance of the heating element, shown as a resistor in the diagram
Wewaii [24]

In order to measure the resistance in the circuit, we need to know the voltage V and the current I in the circuit, this way we can calculate the resistance using the formula:

R=\frac{V}{I}

In order to calculate the current, we can use an amperemeter that must be in series with the circuit, this way it will not affect the circuit.

And in order to calculate the voltage, we can use a voltmeter that must be in parallel with the resistance, this way it will not affect the circuit.

The correct option that shows an amperemeter in series and a voltmeter in parallel is the fourth option.

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of system of charges

= k q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + k q₁q₃ / r₁₃ + k q₃q₂ / r₃₂

q₁ , q₂ and q₃ are charges and  r₁₂ , r₁₃ , r₃₂ are densities between them

9 x 10⁹ ( 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 + 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 + 2x2 x10⁻¹²/ .25 )

= 9 x 10⁹  x 3 x 16 x 10⁻¹²

= 432 x 10⁻³

= .432 J .

A driven RLC circuit is being driven by an AC emf source with a maximum current of 2.75 A and maximum voltage of 150 V. The curr
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(a). Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). R = 36 ohm

(c). The circuit will be Capacitive.

Explanation:

Given data

I = 2.75 A

Voltage = 150 V

\phi = 0.85 rad = 48.72°

(a). Impedance of the circuit is given by

Z = \frac{V}{I}

Z = \frac{150}{2.75}

Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). We know that resistance of the circuit is given by

R = \frac{Z}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2}\phi } }

Put the values of Z & \phi in above formula we get

R = \frac{54.54}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} ( \ 48.72) } }

R = 36 ohm

(c). Since the phase angle is negative so the circuit will be Capacitive.
