How to separate sand and finely ground polystyrene foam?

Polstyrene foam is more commonly known as styrofoam. When clumped together, styrofoam would float on water. So, the easiest and the most cost-efffective way of separating sand from styrofoam is flotation with the use of water.

Other processes are also available. Polystyrene is soluble in organic solvents like acetone, toluene or benzene. By adding these solvents, polystyrene would react so that you are left with only the sand. This process is called solvent extraction. If you want to recover the styrofoam, just evaporate the solvent out and you are left with a solid form of the polystyrene.

An Arrow (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it pierces an apple (2 kg) which is initially at rest. After th
sattari [20]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')...................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the arrow, u = initial velocity of the arrow, m' = mass of the apple, u' = initial velocity of the apple, V = Final velocity of the apple and the arrow after collision.

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m').................... Equation 2

Given: m = 0.5 kg, m' = 2 kg, u = 20 m/s, u' = 0 m/s(initially at rest)

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.5×20+2×0)/(2+0.5)

V = 10/2.5

V = 4 m/s.

Hence the final velocity of the apple and the arrow after the collision = 4 m/s
