A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released whe

n the cord is horizontal. At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 3.00 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic.
Find
(a) the speed of the ball and
(b) the speed of the block just after the collision.

Answer:

a) v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b) v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Explanation:

a) Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

L = 70 cm = 0.7 m

v₁in = 0 m/s   ⇒  Kin = 0 J

v₁fin = ?

h<em>in </em>= L = 0.7 m

h<em>fin </em>= 0 m   ⇒    U<em>fin</em> = 0 J

The speed of the ball before the collision can be obtained as follows

Einitial = Efinal

⇒ Kin + Uin = Kfin + Ufin

⇒ 0 + m*g*h<em>in</em> = 0.5*m*v₁fin² + 0

⇒ v₁fin = √(2*g*h<em>in</em>) = √(2*(9.81 m/s²)*(0.70 m))

⇒ v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b)  Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

m₂ = 3.0 Kg

v₁ = 3.7059 m/s    (→)

v₂ = 0 m/s

v₂fin = ?

The speed of the block just after the collision can be obtained using the equation

v₂fin = 2*m₁*v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

⇒  v₂fin = (2*0.5 Kg*3.7059 m/s) / (0.5 Kg + 3.0 Kg)

⇒  v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Which method determines the relative age of Earth's sedimentary layers based on their organization?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Relative age-dating involves comparing a rock layer or rock structure with other near-by layers or structures. Using the principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships, and structures such as unconformities, one can determine the order of geological events.

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (
Xelga [282]

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

The velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. The equation is velocity = distance/time. If you wanted to c
Korolek [52]

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity V equation is distance d divided by time t:

V=\frac{d}{t}

If we isolate t we will have:

t=\frac{d}{V}

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.
