A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is $v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

The initial speed of the billiard ball A = $v_1$ =1 m/s

The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

The initial speed of the billiard ball B = 0

Let the final speed of the billiard ball A = $v_A$

Let The finial speed of the billiard ball B = $v_B$

According to the law of conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} m (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{2}m$

$1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)$

According to the law of conservation of Momentum

$mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B$

Substituting values

$m(1) = mv_A + 2mv_B$

Multiplying through by $m$

$1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)$

making $v_A$ subject of the equation 2

$v_A = 1 - 2v_B$

Substituting this into equation 1

$(1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1$

$1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B +1 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B =0$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$

"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
