Answer:

$5.33\ m/s$

Explanation:

$We\ know\ that,\\Momentum=Mass*Velocity\\p=mv\\Hence,\\Lets\ first\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5*0.2=1\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=2\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*2=0.6\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision'=1+0.6=1.6\ kg\ m/s$

$Hence,\\Lets\ now\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'After\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=v\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'After\ Collision'=0+0.3v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s$

$As\ we\ know\ that,\\Through\ the\ law\ of\ conservation\ of\ momentum,\\In\ an\ isolated\ system:\\Total\ Momentum\ Before\ Collision=Total\ Momentum\ After\ Collision\\Hence,\\1.6=0.3v\\v=\frac{1.6}{0.3}=5.33\ m/s$

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.

A plastic box has an initial volume of 2.00 m 3 . It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Volume strain is 0.02

Explanation:

Volume strain is defined as the change in volume to the original volume.

It is given that,

Initial volume of the plastic box is 2 m³

It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to 1.96 m³

We need to find the volume strain on the box. It is defined as the change in volume divided by the original volume. So,

$\delta V=\dfrac{V_f-V_i}{V_i}\\\\\delta V=\dfrac{1.96-2}{2}\\\\\delta V=0.02$

So, the volume strain on the box is 0.02.

A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge q2 = -2.00 nC is placed on the positive

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The x- and y-components of the total force exerted is

$F_{31 +32} = (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}$

The magnitude of the force is

$|F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N$

The direction of the force is

$\theta =327.43 ^o$ Clockwise from x-axis

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the first charge is $q_1 = +5.00nC = 5.00*10^{-9}C$

The magnitude of the second charge is $q_2 = -2.00nC = -2.00*10^{-9}C$

The position of the second charge from the first one is $d_{12} = 4.00i \ cm = \frac{4.00i}{100} = 4.00i *10^{-2} m$

The magnitude of the third charge is $q_3 = +6.00nC = 6.00*10^{-9}C$

The position of the third charge from the first one is $\= d_{31} = (4i + 3j) cm = \frac{ (4i + 3j)}{100} = (4i + 3j) *10^{-2}m$

$|d_{31}| =(\sqrt{4 ^2 + 3^2}) *10^{-2} m$

$|d_{31}| =5 *10^{-2} m$

The position of the third charge from the second one is

$\= d_{32} = 3j cm = 3j *10^{-2}m$

$|d_{32}| =(\sqrt{ 3^2}) *10^{-2} m$

$|d_{32}| =3 *10^{-2} m$

The force acting on the third charge due to the first and second charge is mathematically represented as

$F_{31 +32} = \frac{kq_3 q_1}{|d_{31}| ^3} *\= d_{31} + \frac{kq_3 q_2}{|d_{32}| ^3} *\= d_{32}$

Substituting values

$F_{31 +32} = \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * 5*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3} * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2} \\ \ + \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * -2*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3} * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2}$
