A small ball of charge Q and mass m has a velocity v at infinity. It collides head-on with a ball of the same charge and mass wh

ich is initially at rest. What is the minimal distance between the charges during the collision?

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of ball in motion = 1/2 m v² . Potential energy = 0

Let the minimum distance between the balls be d  on collision.

Electric potential energy at that time= k Q²/d , Here kinetic energy is converted into potential energy . So

1/2 m v² = kQ²/d

d =2 k Q² / mv²,= 18 x 10⁹ x Q²/ m v².

Mandarinka [93]
Regular electrical needs such as heat, a/c, appliances, anything that would be used regularly with electricity. Most electrical companies use gas, coal, and other nonrenewable resources to power houses. Solar power is just a renewable way of gathering power from the sun and converting it to electricity.

A 1-lb block and a 100-lb block are placed side by side at the top of a frictionless hill. Each is given a very light tap to beg
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(c). The two blocks end in a tie

Explanation:

the reason being the absence of any resistance offered to both of the blocks.

if the slope of the hill is for instance 60 deg.

then the acceleration in absence of any resistance is a= 9.81sin(60)

since the acceleration is same then both of the blocks will reach at the same instant

Two 10 kg pucks head straight towards each other with velocities of 10 m/s and -20 m/s. They collide and stick together. Calcula
RUDIKE [14]

The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 +m_2)v

where

m_1 = m_2 = m = 10 kg is the mass of each puck

u_1 = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the 1st puck

u_2 = -20 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck

v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

mu_1 + mu_2 = (m+m)v\\u_1 + u_2 = 2v\\v=\frac{u_1+u_2}{2}=\frac{10-20}{2}=-5 m/s
