An air track car with a mass of 0.75 kg and a velocity of 8.5 m/s to the right collides elastically with a 0.65kg car moving to

the left with a velocity of 7.2m/s. If the collision is elastic, what is the speed and direction of each car after the collision?

We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.

Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:

Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s

Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s

Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s

Substituting this into p=mv again:

1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!

1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), what will be the nature of the char
uysha [10]

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), then the nature of charge gained by q must be positive, because rubbing an uncharged body with a charged body or placed in contact with a positive charged body, helps gain a charge to the uncharged body.

There are a variety of methods to charge an object. One method is known as induction. In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object.

Let's know, how a element gain positive charge?

A positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons. A positive charge may be created by adding protons to an atom or object with a neutral charge. A positive charge also can be created by removing electrons from a neutrally charged object.

A thin coil has 17 rectangular turns of wire. When a current of 4 A runs through the coil, there is a total flux of 5 ✕ 10−3 T ·
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Inductance, L = 0.0212 Henries

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 17

Current through the coil, I = 4 A

The total flux enclosed by the one turn of the coil, \phi=5\times 10^{-3}\ Tm^2

The relation between the self inductance and the magnetic flux is given by :

L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}

L=\dfrac{17\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{4}

L = 0.0212 Henries

So, the inductance of the coil is 0.0212 Henries. Hence, this is the required solution.

A bowling ball (mass = 7.2 kg, radius = 0.11 m) and a billiard ball (mass = 0.38 kg, radius = 0.028 m) may each be treated as un
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of bowling ball M1=7.2kg

The radius of bowling ball r1=0.11m

Mass of billiard ball M2=0.38kg

The radius of the Billiard ball r2=0.028m

Gravitational constant

G=6.67×10^-11Nm²/kg²

The magnitude of their distance apart is given as

r=r1+r2

r=0.028+0.11

r=0.138m

Then, gravitational force is given as

F=GM1M2/r²

F=6.67×10^-11×7.2×0.38/0.138²

F=9.58×10^-9N

The force of attraction between the two balls is

F=9.58×10^-9N
