Answer:

(a) 3.5 m/s

(b) 0 J

(c) 0 J

Explanation:

mass of each ball, m = 0.4 kg

initial velocity of first ball, u1 = 0

initial velocity of second ball, u2 = 3.5 m/s

final velocity of second ball, v2 = 0

(a) let the final velocity of first ball is v1.

Use conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = m1 x v1 + m2 x v2

0.4 x 0 + 0.4 x 3.5 = 0.4 x v1 + 0.4 x 0

v1 = 3.5 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the first ball after collision is 3.5 m/s

(b) kinetic energy of first ball before collision

K1 = 0.5 x m1 x u1^2 = 0

(c) Kinetic energy of second ball after collision

K2 = 0.5 x m2 x v2^2 = 0

Explanation:

Mass of two soccer balls, m_1=m_2=0.4\ kg

Initial speed of first ball, u_1=0

Initial speed of second ball, u_2=3.5\ m/s

After the collision,

Final speed of the second ball, v_2=0

(a) The momentum remains conserved. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

v_1 is the final speed of the first ball

0.4\times 0+0.4\times 3.5=0.4v_1+0.4\times 0

0.4\times 3.5=0.4v_1

v_1=3.5\ m/s

(b) Let E_1 is the kinetic energy of the first ball before the collision. It is given by :

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.4\times 0

It is at rest, so, the kinetic energy of the first ball before the collision is 0.

(c) After the collision, the second ball comes to rest. So, the kinetic energy of the second ball after the collision is 0.

Hence, this is the required solution.

When is the velocity of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A.  when the mass has a displacement of zero

Explanation:

The velocity of a mass on a spring can be calculated by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total energy of the mass-spring system is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy (U) of the spring and the kinetic energy (K) of the mass:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring

m is the mass

v is the velocity of the mass

Since the total energy E must remain constant, we can notice the following:

- When the displacement is zero (x=0), the velocity must be maximum, because U=0 so K is maximum

- When the displacement is maximum, the velocity must be minimum (zero), because U is maximum and K=0

Based on these observations, we can conclude that the velocity of the mass is at its maximum value when the displacement is zero, so the correct option is A.
