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.

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised  from T to T'.

Hence specific heat  of a substance is calculated as-

                                              c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

The 0.15kg baseball has a speed of v=30 m/s just before it is struck by the bat. It then travels along the trajectory shown befo
notka56 [123]

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

The speed at which it moves, v = 30 m/s

Time at which the baseball was in contact with the bat, t = 0.75 ms

t = 0.75/1000 s

t  = 0.00075 s

The impulsive force is given by the formula:

F=\frac{mv}{t}

Substitute m = 0.15 kg, v = 30, and t = 0.00075s into the formula above:

F=\frac{0.15 \times 30}{0.00075} \\\\F=6000N

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?
viktelen [127]

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of displacement with time.

   Velocity = \frac{Displacement}{time taken}

The quantity differs from speed in that it has both magnitude and direction.

From the options given above:

Displacement: The boat traveled in the north direction from the dock to a 200m mark.

Time taken: approximately less than 5 minutes was the duration of traveling.

This describes the boat's velocity accurately.
