A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

s. Just before the collision, one ball, of mass 3.0 kg, is moving upward at 20 m/s and the other ball, of mass 2.0 kg, is moving downward at 12 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point?

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, m_1=3\ kg

Speed of the first ball, v_1=20\ m/s (upward)

Mass of the other ball, m_2=2\ kg

Speed of the other ball, v_2=-12\ m/s (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

V=\dfrac{3\times 20+2\times (-12)}{3+2}

V = 7.2 m/s

Let h is the height reached by the combined balls of putty rise above the collision point. Using the conservation of energy as :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

h=\dfrac{V^2}{2g}

h=\dfrac{7.2^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 2.64 meters

So, the height reached by the combined mass is 2.64 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

An object of height 8.50 cm is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a converging lens with a focal length of 12.0 cm. Determine the ima
ddd [48]

The image distance is 33.3 cm while the image height is 14.2 cm.

<h3>What is a converging lens?</h3>

A converging lens will always have a positive focal length hence, we have to find the object distance as follows;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

1/12 = 1/v + 1/20

1/v = 1/12 - 1/20

1/v = 0.08 - 0.05

v =33.3 cm

Now;

Magnification =  33.3 cm/20.0 cm =1.67

M = Image height/Object height

1.67 =  Image height/8.50 cm

Image height = 1.67  * 8.50 cm

Image height = 14.2 cm

What is the linear speed of a point on the equator, due to the earth's rotation?
kvv77 [185]
The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
   = (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
   = 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s
