Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.

Liquids solidify when they are cooled because they have reached their freezing point. For many liquids this is around 32°F or 0°C. Hope you find this information useful.

A 0. 060-kg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball initially moving in th

inn [45]

Final speed of the tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball is 2.964 m/s.

<h3>What is conservation of momentum?</h3>

Momentum of an object is the force of speed of it in motion. Momentum of a moving body is the product of mass times velocity. By the law of conservation of momentum,

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

Here, (m) is the mass, (u) is initial velocity before collision, v is final velocity after collision and (subscript 1, and 2) are used for body 1 and 2 respectively. Rewrite the formula for final velocity as,

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

A 0. 060-kg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball, initially moving in the same direction at a speed of 3.44 m/s. Thus, the initial velocity of the second ball is,

$v_{2f}=5.82+3.44+v_{1f}\\v_{2f}=2.38+v_{1f}$

Let v1f is the final velocity of first ball. Thus, the initial velocity of the first ball is,

$v_{1f}=\dfrac{(0.060)(5.82) + (0.090)(3.44-2.38)}{(0.060)+(0.090)}\\v_{1f}=2.964\rm\; m/s$

Thus, final speed of the tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball is 2.964 m/s.

Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by:

Marina86 [1]

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.

A 0.405 kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 26.3 N/m and released from rest a distance of 3.31 cm from the

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

0.231 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass attached to the spring = 0.405 kg

k = spring constant of spring = 26.3 N/m

x₀ = initial position = 3.31 cm = 0.0331 m

x = final position = (0.5) x₀ = (0.5) (0.0331) = 0.01655 m

v₀ = initial speed = 0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using conservation of energy

Initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy = Final kinetic energy + final spring energy

(0.5) m v₀² + (0.5) k x₀² = (0.5) m v² + (0.5) k x²

m v₀² + k x₀² = m v² + k x²

(0.405) (0)² + (26.3) (0.0331)² = (0.405) v² + (26.3) (0.01655)²

v = 0.231 m/s
